Semiconductor Mumbo Jumbo
What is with Processors these days? Recently AMD released it's Athlon XP (Palomino) processor, a very nice update to the Athlon Thunderbird and performs better at that. People will spend $400 on a 2.0GHz pentium 4 to say they have it instead of $200 on an Athlon XP 1900+ which performs as well if not better? And Intel recently announced its Mobile Pentium 4 Processor, which runs at 1.6GHz and 1.7GHz -- faster than any other mobile chip. Let's watch AMD kick butt afterwhich. Info
Soon, hopefully all harddrives will be that fast.


That's all I have to say,
