I've been holding off buying a new PC until AMD launched it's new chips, etc. I've been reading www.tomshardware.com occassionally. Anyway, now it's time to buy... I want a PC mainly for performing chess analysis, quick results and overnight analysis of positions. Which of these PC specs should I buy? They are all in the price region that I'm looking at. Will there be any significant performance differences? Is there anything else I should be considering? A) PIII 933Mhz, Intel 815e chipset with ICH2(?), 256k L2 cache, 384Mb RAM B) Athlon 1Ghz, Athlon enabled motherboard with 200Mhz bus, 256Mb RAM C) PIII 933Mhz, PIII VIA chipset (133Mhz bus) + AGP Port(?), 256Mb RAM D) PIII 850Mhz with 512k cache, PIII 133 VIA Apollo motherboard, 256Mb PC133 RAM I'd appreciate if you could tell me which spec is better and why. Alternatively, just tell me that they are all rather equivalent. Thanks in advance for any advice Gordon
