I just got 2 Athlon 650's from GTW 2 weeks ago and I am impressed to say the least. Very fast, very smooth, very stable. Almost as good as sex.

Hi Ali, thanks for response. Clock for clock, I hear a Dell w/PIII is faster than a Gateway w/Athlon. Is this not the case? If I go with one of these companies such as ComputerGeeks.com (or Paul Ma) - what is the likelihood that my computer will be stable. Is Gateway known to make more "stable" computers, sacrificing speed? I guess it's a better trade-off to lose 2-3% speed since I'm always multi-taking. Let me know your opinions (and anyone else reading this). TIA Dave
