Hey Rick...I dont doubt that your expertise is somewhere out there, but R u
gonna tell us that the POC that the Athlon chip offers is more stable than a
solid Dual 600EB u gotta be smokin some good ass shi* ...anyways next time
limit your responses to your Athlon partners...by the way I could take any Dual
Athlon if it exists and smoke it with any PIII chip even lower in
MHz...(remember that Windows is based on the Pentium architecture not the AMD
-and the RISC instructions, one that by the way was not even in anyone's head
at the time that P and W were making money out of us...   ;-)







Take that AMD kiddo
