stockman, I don't ever remember saying I wouldn't have a presario at home.... can you help me out of this one... if you do I promise not to say..I was just being sarcastic<gg> Unforntunately, you haven't hit what the real issue is on a presario... anyway..can you find where i said I wouldn't use a presario at home. integration testing that I witnessed doesn't bare out you findings on athe AMD chip. there are yeild problems but the ones in the field are not failing and are performing just as fast as the intel chip . I know several design guys that say they are performing faster... these design guys have walls on patents in the pc industry too... so, I've pretty much stayed out of the which is faster amd or intel.. it's a friutless debate....absolutely fruitless and only fruits debate that<ggg>

Hi: You said "Did you know that AMD in order to get K6/233's had to jack up their voltages. If this is the case, then the AMD chips are JUNK." I am a hardware engineer and I can not seem to connect first part of your if statement with the second from a technical point. Please enlighten. My son showed me an independent performance comparison that shows the K6-233 is as good as PII-233 MMX from Intel. So we bought one because of the price difference. Thanks. Regards, Satish
