=?iso-8859-1?Q?Re:_TI-H:_Re:_DFI_Mothers_and_AMD=B4s?=
Out of my 5 PCs, 3 have AMD CPUs. 2 Athlons (800 & 600), K6/2 450, Celeron
466, and a Dual Pentium Pro 200. If you are waiting for the Gig CPUs to come
. The Athlon gig doesn't do much better than an 800 because of the external
cache, and the PIII gig requires an $80+ heat removal system that requires
some case modification (part of it sits outside the case). On top of all of
that Intel has yet to ship its 1 Ghz PIII. If money was tight I would buy an
AMD Duron (aka Spitfire) (600 Mhz for under $100) and a Socket A
motherboard, which could later be upgraded to a Thunderbird Athlon. As for
the cdrw vs. zip, zip is widely supported but not as supported as cds.

Well i was going to wait for the prices for the gigs to come down but now
that i see that i need a serious upgrade (pre-pentium 80mhz, 486) i'm going
to probably get a slower p3 (slower ha, 550?) i don' no i just don't like
amds that much and i have no idea why. i don't really see any reason to ya
know? well who knows i might just get a celeron depending on how much $$$
i'll have. hey better to get an cdrw or zip (250)?
