I have this motherboard as well using the 500mhz chip. I LOVE this motherboard, very sweet. Just got the system last night. Have you tried overclocking it?
I was JUST reading this today. Looks very interesting.
Not sure I'd buy it though, $125 is pretty expensive.
I just got my new Athlon system, 500mhz on a Asus K7 motherboard. It's great. A lot of the modifications towards overclocking can be done through the BIOS setup - very cool
This is really a great chip and I'm happy to give my business to AMD. I looked at the Intel chips and everything pointed to the Athlon.
The Athlon is a GREAT chip. The problem is the fact that the motherboard manufacturers are scared to manufacture the Athlon boards. They are scared at what Intel will do to them. Currently there are 5 motherboards: Asus, Biostar, FIC, Gigabyte, and MSI Some of these companies won't even mention these boards exist! You can find all the info at www.tomshardware.com
http://www.tomshardware.com usually does a good report on the best bang for the buck. Coincidently they LOVE the Athlon and found it more stable than PIII using Win98, but what machine is stable with Win98:) I have a Pentium Pro 200 and I'm pretty happy.

I know. Pretty soon they'll say: "I think therefore I WILL(become)" :)
What Committee?
The Syndicate?! hahahahaha
The part that scared me was the reverse engineering.
Is it easier to reverse engineer now-a-days?
Will anything be proprietary anymore? Are we heading to Open Source everything?
Am I being paranoid?
Is the Truth out there?
Where's Scully?
There's the little green men!
I am tired of this - *Chris Rock* Tired! Tired! Tired!
Isn't Sun basically shooting themselves in the foot with Java?
How are they progressing? I haven't heard jack about Java as a few years ago when it was getting so much hype.
How many real world apps are being developed in Java?
Have they sped things up? Their UI framework was a dog from what saw.
All I see Java doing for me is making my browser crash, and I am not joking. 1 out of every 5 webpages I access which use Java crashes the browser.
Has Microsoft done anything more with Java as well?
Do you people think this is worth the download?
:)
This is interesting "For example, our Windows version uses only standard Intel 386 instructions, not MMX, or other proprietary variations. " 386!
The Corel beta Application seems pretty long. I hate filling out long forms, but since this is for Linux it might be worth it.
They also don't give much information of what's involved. I assume you get all that information once you sign up.

MP3 and karaoke? Oh yeah. Why the big hush? Once consumers find out they'll want it. I'm sure the record industry will try to fight it.
I wonder what "surprises" Ditzel is talking about with regard to this.
Pentium killer?
I do like the design
He also wears BRIONI suits :)
Very cool...

Just goes to show what bad marketing can do. Tell the average Joe about the Alpha and he's like "Alpha what?" And, yeah, I want one too. :)
I love using Google. I think it's much better than other search engines. Patenting this technology? Why not? They seem to patent everything else.
