Hmm, the intel pentium is well, overpriced, and well, on comparison
testing between my friends P166 and my P166+.. Mine beats his in every
test I have been able to find, and we run quite similar periferal (sp,
its too late at night to spell) hardware (video, hard drives, cd-roms,
etc.).
If Cyrix (IBM) and intel merge, I'll go back to AMD, and if AMD goes
away, I'll go to Zilog Z80s.
Intel works, but its just like a telco monopoly, it doesn't work WELL.
IMHO running Intel is like running with Microsoft.
