if i wanted to build my parents a sweet little machine, for typing and minimum internet surfing (for example... a http://www.compgeeks.com/cgi-bin/details.asp?cat=Mboards&sku=205-2235 pII 350 .. well, thats gonna cost me about 赔-趚 once i get a nice board to go with it....

now, say i want to put ME together a little gaming machine... for example a http://www.pricewatch.com/1/37/1278-1.htm 600 - 700 duron its gonna cost ME about 赔-趚 to get me started on something like that.!

whats going on here, why can't the stupid ocmpanys realize that they will NEVER sell the p II 350's for MORE than the durons/celerons/athlons 600's why dont they just lower the price, except defeat and get over it!!

Now! i cna't get on with what i want to do, because i feel bad about getting my parents a 600 mhz machine for word processing. but im not gonna pay more for a 350!.. its bull shit!.

but thats just MY opinion.

anyone ?

Grr.. what i was saying was that it was going to cost me the exact same amount to build my parents a p II 300 as it would to build me a Duron 600.

(and i admit, i should have no complaints and just build them(parents) a duron 600. but after looking at a 600mhz id expect to spend like ุ-์ on a little PII. but it isnt so.. (sigh) )

honestly, i shouldnt complain, and should just build them a 600 duron.

but this is MY rant!.
(and rant i shall)

I still have an old 486/33 chip in my junk drawer. I remember going to a computer parts store years ago, and asking what I could get for it. The guy said "Uhm... I MAY be able to give you ฟ of store credit for it". I decided that it would make a much better souvenir. 20 years from now it will make a great "antique".

Amazing what a bit of silicon and plastic can cost.
