ok...  I really don't trust Compaq, but then again I HAVE only used it in
conjunction with Windoze, and I abhore their prices..  but I guess it
couldn't hurt since I've seen so many people respond with favorable
comments about their portable line.

And the Athlons only run 1/2- 1/3?!  Everything I'd ever read or heard
was that among better and faster overall architecture, they kept
outrunning the PIIIs by going full, while the PIII was lucky to make 1/2.

now I'm REALLY impressed...
Where can I find a smp thunderbird or duron motherboard?! :-)
