re: "Jim - give it up. If the only way you know how to
compare PC's is by processor speed then you are not
prepared to invest, long or short in this industry."

I knew that would get your attention.
Most people do not know as much about PC's as you do.
Most people do not consider ultra DMA 33
I understand EDO is not as fast as SDRAM, But HP knows that 32 MB of ram is all you users really need. Anyone that wants more will be spending lots more money.
Your mistake here is that you assume buyers are as savy as you are.

Most presidents of companies or heads of households, the folks likely to approve or disaprove of the purchace, Focus on MHZ and MB of ram and Does it have a CD-ROM. They don't care if it supports CLV or CAV or which manufacturer the HD is made by.

You think there is a difference, But I think you are trying to win the Ford Chevy argument.

Jim

<<If you don't think you need any of this stuff, get a load

Dell systems have many if not most of the PC98 features built
in guaranteeing a longer useful life.>>

Well said. Very good. They have pushed obsolescence from being one to two years to months.
