The biggest problem I have had with the Athlon Proc is envy. Yes, pure,
green, envy. I built one around an ASUS K7M board... and I want it. bad.
128 megs ram, 32meg video.... just watching it do a memory test in less

Bye bye pentiums... I'm going Athlon from now on! (and you can get one for
*cheeap* 179$ or so...)
