RE: Dear semiconeng: Your's is the only reply so far, but I think it makes my point. All this gigahertz talk seems to me to be merely muscle flexing. Unless you're a weight lifter whats the point? I vote for durability, and SIMPLICITY. JDN Agreed. At the time I bought my 500MHz, I could have gone for the faster "cutting edge, higher MHz", but with my limited budget, I decided instead to put the money into the 256MB system RAM, and 32MB Video. Today, I'm STILL happy that I did it that way. Who has the fastest, processor is pretty irrelevant to me. The intel stock that I've been holding since 1983 has split 6 times, and the 1983 shares now have an effective purchase price of ~ 50 cents. I guess my investment philosophy is different from those on that "other board", but I'm still pretty satisfied with the investments that I made 17 years ago, when I got into this business. I'm not running out to sell anytime soon. :-) SemiconEng
