Thanks Dan3, my applications are as you suggest. A little MS Office, alot of net surfing, some Quaking and hopefully a bit of video editing. I've got the DV camera and an active toddler, now I need the PC to handle it. I'm gonna wait till DVD-RAM become readily available, hopefully less than 6 months. Rx

Dan, >The fastest chip for productivity applications like Office, Excel, Pagemaker, or Powerpoint is the DDR Athlon. Since you put it that way, I have to say, boy, do you really need a super computer to run Office or any of the other apps above? The fastest chip for Quake 3 and soon to be available video compression software is the P4. The P4 exceeds at apps that actually benefit from very high clock speeds. Thanks for the plug! Tony
