Danny, mura lang ang Athlon these days. I upgraded my brother's computer from K6-II 400MHz, it cost about 10k -- for a motherboard (ECS K7S5A, which takes SDRAM so I was able to recycle the RAM), case with 300W PSU, and AthlonXP 2000+ (which accounted for half the cost). Since he mostly does AutoCAD, the SDRAM bottleneck wasn't very visible. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
