Eric, Have come upon your site thru J Berst at ZDNet. Have built an AMD Athlon 750 w/256mb PC133 300w p.s. mid ATX Diamond Multimedia ViperII Z200 video card(set at 4x AGP) NIC card Yamaha PCI sound 52x Cendyne CD rom and LG CD RW JBL Pro speakers Zoom 56k(never know when the cable goes down) for $1160. I definitely agree that Intel has committed a serious gaffe and now the CEO of this "deeppockets" corporation is now on record as saying RAMBUS tie was not a bright spot. direct quote from from Craig Barrett , "We hoped we were partners with a company that would concentrate on technology innovation," he says, "rather than seeking to collect a toll from other companies." Not a bad take on a bad partnership. p.s. AMD is the only way to fly at this time Sincerely, C. Masters p.s. AMD is the only way to fly at this time C. Masters, Thanks for the note. It sounds like you have a great setup and I’m glad I’m not the only person in the world who thinks that AMD systems are a great buy and are quite powerful. I’m also glad that Intel is acknowledging that Rambus may not be one of their bright spots. Eric Svetcov |
