Ali babble, Re -- 32MB not always equal to other 32MB Few consumer PC buyers are as "smart" as you. To them 32Mb is 32Mb. I would be surprised if some of the salesmen were as "smart" as you to know the difference. The intent of the post was to show that IN GENERAL (for the computer lay person) The K6 is a dissapointment. It sells for more despite all of AMD's hype that it is cheaper. Stockman

Ali and James,Thanks for the explaination and here is the configuration you asked, but still don't to understand why this AMD system cost comsumer more: I called up the store (Intellect Computer, 301-231-7100) and double checked all the detail configuration. On Monday Washington Post, I noticed AMD K6-233 MHZ system is priced at $1189, and the same configuration Intel P-MMX-233 MHZ sells for only $1109! Yes, $80 cheaper than AMD's K6,with the exact same configuration. Here is the detail configuration: - Intel F430-vx with 512k Pipeline Cache - 16 MB EDO Memory - 1.28 GB (Mode 4) EIDE HD - 64 bit S3 V-PLUS with 2 Mb EDO - 14" 0.28dpi 1024x768 Low Rad SVGA Monitor - 24x/3D Sound/74 titles/Speakers/Mic. - 104 Windows 95 Keytronic Keyboard - MS-compatiable Mouse - 33.6 Kbs Internal Voice Faxmodem with software - Mini-Tower Case with 230 W PS - Software, Windows 95/on CD with Manual - 90-Days same as cash - 5 year labor, 1year parts warranty Intel Pentium-MMX-233 $1109 AMD K-6-233 $1189
