PIII's are comming...

The PIII's are comming out on the 28th of this month, if anyone did not see the commercial yesterday for it. There is an article about it reguarding games at: http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/help990226/www.zdnet.com/zdhelp/stories/ Check it out. Dwayne W.

On yesterdays Screen Savers viewers poll on ZDTV, 99% of the people who responded said they would not be upgrading. The whole ID function of the PIII seems to have people spooked. I don't fully understand how this works, but it all smacks of Big Brother to me. AMD K7's are going to be a huge hit if Intel retains this function in the PIII. -don

There is an article about it >>reguarding games at: My distributor sent me a fax saying they have them in stock TODAY (2/26). Retail Price: 500MHz = $779; 450MHz = $569 BOXED. Not worth it in my oh-so-humble opinion. I wasn't too worried till I heard that a German trade rag claims they've figured out how to turn ON the serial number WITHOUT a reboot! This is a debacle just waiting to happen! "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge truck

Buy the Celeron instead, it's faster, at the same clock speed, with current games and sooo much cheaper... - http://www.tomshardware.com - /Christer

As soon as they get off the Big Brother BS, I might be interested. Oh,and drop the price by about 70% so they are competitive. :) -Larry

I'm a pretty tough customer:) With the exception of Online Racing, I use a Mac G3 for everything. That should explain why a Celeron doesn't impress me :) And, though I think Apple's 2X faster claims are a bit, uh, out there, the 450Mhz PII doesn't hold a candle either :) -Larry > Nothing impresses you Larry ;o). > /Christer

Yes, it's a pitty Apple didn't allow clones of the Mac. It could of been an interesting battle between Apple and Microsoft, and we, the customers, would benefit so much more from it :o). /Christer
