The AMD K7's are superior to the Intel chips. My only complaint is that no one has come up with a dual K7 board. I use AMD exclusively in single processor boxes and they work like a charm... The only Intel chips I own are the ones in my dual processor box. :-( BTW, if anyone knows why they haven't come out with a dual processor K7 box, let me know. -jeff >-- >To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with a subject of "unsubscribe".
