why not go for an AMD cpu?....just as good and way way cheaper in
price...and you get just as good or if not better performance for your
computer dollar.I'm using an AMD-K62-300 and i get 36 fps's in GPL and
it's solid.and what i have read,the AMD 450 runs the software just as
good if not better in some instances.I dont think I will ever consider an
Intel run system again as long as they continue to change thier
technology every 2 years to force us computer public users to follow like
sheep.Ipersonally wouldnt like to have an ID code on my cpu to identify
myself on the net as the P-III's are purported to have.Not with all the
hackers out there just waiting to grip thier slimy grubby hands on this
stuff.
