>Argh! ... Damn I should have bought an athlon.
Hehe, now you sound like me

Really though, unless you're running some hardcore, Intel optimized processor intensive applications I can't fathom why anyone goes with Intel anymore. I'd just recently bought a new motherboard for use with my Slot 1 600 Mhz P3. Looking through PriceWatch for a 370 proc I was simply stunned to see the outrageous prices Intel was asking.

Conversely, I could get a 1Ghz AMD proc with a bundled motherboard for less than a slower Intel proc by itself.

While I doubt Intel will be going out of business any time soon, I'm fairly certain that my next processor won't be advertised by some doofy-looking blue men
