Intel is going to have a problem: angry customers without an upgrade option who paid big bux for a comparably slow rig, Willamette is a rip-off and if they continue to abuse their brand name and peddle snake-oil, they'll be out of business by 2002.

Peddling snake oil? Out of business by 2002? I'm sorry for your ignorance, but a company that posted 6.7 BILLION dollars in revenue for FIRST QUARTER 2001, and is spending 4.2 BILLION on R&D in 2001 does not have such a grim outlook that you propose. They have the cash, and the smarts to put out a good product, it is people like you who need to pull the blinds up and look at the real world. lol


Also- I've been watching the forum for a while, just recently started posting. I like the way Arcadian avoids the flame! It's refreshing. I could care less each way what someone roots for, but senseless, unsubstatiated comments like the one I just replied to are irritating to say the least.
