It sounds like my network provider screwed something up with my e-mail. Not quite, you see, they assumed that the deluge of e-mail (triggered by your comments about Intel and its investors) must have been the work of a spam-artist, consequently, they turned you off at the pipe. Call them up and explain that those were letters from The Tonight Show, MAD TV, Letterman and SNL fans urging you to perform your material on national television.

RE: "all computers with the same chipset are IDENTICAL." I agree with the gist of what you are saying though not the letter. An optimized motherboard from one manufacturer will be substantially similar in performance to one from another. Some, historically from certain sources, have been lethargic in performance. One big disappointment to me in the past was a series by iNTEL which culminated in the Atlantis. This, apparently value packed MB, had built-in sound and video cards. The drivers supplied were deficient and the bios was pedestrian and very limited. I upgraded all and, though performance increased substantially, it still performed lethargically when compared to other offerings of that time. The key was the level of optimization. Some of my customers complained of the slowness though most were not aware of it. Regards, DARBES
