Hi Dealer: I'm sorry, Dealie, I just don't get Intel. What is it with this Pentium II, III and now IV! The logical sequence of Pentium should be "Sexium". Are they afraid of the RAMBifications of the word?!? Whats wrong with saying that I have a "sexy" computer. Does a chip upgrade on the motherboard of a present day computer make it "sexed up"? Will schematics of the "motherboard" be referred to as a "centerfold". Is Intel afraid to change their commercial from saying "Intel Pentium inside" to "intel Sex(ium) inside. Can we now change "windows compatable" to "peep show ready?" Somehow RAM disks, floppies, hard drive take on new meaning. If we later have to upgrade this new chip, is it referred to as a "sex change?". Having a faster clock speed, is that necessarily a good thing? I lose sleep over these things.... Perplexed, David
