Duke, looks like AMD's professional marketing department strikes again. Instead of gaining the sale, these idiotic salesman are spreading doubt about the reliability of the product with other operating systems. You should have asked him why he thought that and watch him squirm. That kind of thing looks great in front of customers. <G> Meanwhile, when asked about the Intel system, Joe Salesman can still point to the gigahertz sticker, and the customer will get instant recognition - no thought involved. Looks like AMD marketing still has some work to do.... wbmw

Duke, >So I'm in Circuit City tonight. And just for kicks I ask the guy who's helping me, what the "1800 XP" means, figuring I'd get an answer like 1.8Ghz or something, but NOOOOO, the guy says: This is an advanced machine. It only runs MSXP, not 98 or ME. So the latest AMD chip runs one Microsoft OS and not any others. Start that rumor. Hoo boy.
