RE: athlon

["Tony Johnson" <gjohnson showmaster com>]

Zdnet says $700 for the 600.  Back with the Pentium Pro's and Xeon's the big
cost difference was the cache.  Once again , the processor speed is getting
to be too much for the system bus.  Lower clock multiplier = faster overall
machine.  They gotta drop the price a little bit.

That's the 650 isn't it? The 500 didn't seem too bad ($350-400?). It
certainly sounds like a great chip on paper.

Buy one and let us all know! (Just kidding, no flame wars please).

Seriously, I'm interested as well.
