Paul, Re: "Compared to Pentiums, available only up to 733 MHz (retail), they are much faster." You are playing games with the truth - AGAIN ! I know truth can hurt. I base my statement on visiting 3 retail chains - CompUSA, Circuit City and Staples. I don't know how popular they are on the West coast. Thee are a lot of them on the East coast. Maybe I will stop buy at Gateway store which is nearby. Intel's 933 MHz Pentium III is widely available on Pricewatch.com - and has been for over a month. There are 17 entries, so it is beginning to show up. 733 MHz Piii is widely available now with 98 entries. FYI, Athlon 950 has 55 entries, 1 GHz Athlon has 34 entries, 78 Thunderbirds of all kinds. If you had invested more wisely, you could afford to move UPSCALE - and shop in the better stores. I don't think you are getting it. All UPSCALE consumer computers that you can buy in retail stores all have Athlons. Piii has been either been MIA (which coincided with your disappearance) or it has been available at very low clock speeds. When I had some Pentium computers built recently by a screwdriver / online store, they told me that all I could get (and all they could get from their distributor) was a 600 MHz Piii. Joe
