Thats a point. But in this case bleeding edge becomes bleeding expensive. I
have not seen a price in Australia for the upper end Pentiums but they are
usually around $1500 give or take the odd $100... shizenzee, $100 thats about
all I pay for the CPU's in my system...performance at the edge is not cheap!!
BTW (esspecially Murray)...I see Altech at South Brisbane have Gigabyte Athlon
boards at $270
