RE:"A single Athlon 700-800-900-1000 whatever should easily whup a DELL eMachines dual system. But the question is, do you get double-tracked with TWO personal processor serial numbers?" Fear not, Intel is now starting to tout dual processors with Windows 2000 saying you need 250 extra Mhz just to get Windows 2000 to run as fast as Windows NT/9*. This appears the new FUD campaign between Dell and Intel. I did read that Microsoft says W2K runs apps 20% faster than NT. I'm sure they will be interested to know that Dell and Intel disagree... One word for Intels PR department. Pathetic. Intel should just get back to making some chips... Jim
