Pretty nice system, Scumbria. Huge inventories of AMD-based retail systems translate into excellent deals for the consumer. Personally, I'm waiting for my free PC from Intel, preferably a free laptop if Intel offers the option. Hopefully it'll run 3D graphics well enough for a little game playing on the road! <I'm kind of sad that it doesn't have "Net Burst" however.> I'm sure you are. But at least your GHz Athlon system should dissipate enough heat to warm your room during these cold December nights ... Tenchusatsu

"New Computer" Thanks for helping a poor AMD investor like myself. If I remember right, your old PC had a WinChip and was plenty fast enough for you. Why'd you decide to buy? Regards, Jeff

Hey, don't worry about a lack of "net burst", it does not apply to AMD. "Net Burst" is how Intel executives describe the performance of their dot com investments: siliconinvestor.com

Re: I'm kind of sad that it doesn't have "Net Burst" however And it's only a little faster than a $2,800 P4 system. I guess you'll just have to learn to live with the high speed. Congratulations, Dan

Scumbria, RE:"For $1300 I got 128MB of 200MHz DDR, 40GB disk, 16MB TNT2 (w/DDR of course.) 17" monitor, DVD, CDR/W, and an ink jet printer." Sounds like you went to Best Buy. 'bout time you upgraded the WInchip. Jim
