A Pentium II compared with a G3 seems to be slower, eventhough it has the same clock speed of let's say 300 Mhz. It's therefor the technology behind the clock speed that matters. Your article doesn't attack that point enough, and I can't stress it enough. Clock speed is nothing, if neither the bus nor the processor itself can do anything with it. Tom Nadeau Speed matters most to me.
Price is secondary.
I've finally learned my lesson re. I'm waiting for RAM prices to fall back to reasonable prices. Tom Strickland you can't go wrong with the Intel brand name. David Cole newest, fastest, biggest, and best. Colin Matlack look forward to the day when price gouging will be a thing of past.
