However, if you really want to get technical the designation flow would go like this:
Pentium = 80586 = 586 PentiumII = 80686 = 686 PIII = 80786 = 786 Pentium M = 80886 = 886 Core Duo = 80886 = 886 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Richard Colbert "Recent Ubuntu Convert" YIM: cmptrgeeknshermantx ICQ: 14466429 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.venuspcservice.com -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
