Technic industries will cry out loud for joy, when they read such statements....
it simply means that they finally tricked - annother one.
As far as I know you got a ATHLON 800 -
if I were you I'd change - as soon as ATHLON ( for example only ) 2000 is
available and the price of the ATHLON 1400 ( annother example ) has fallen down
under the table...THIS would be a clever reaction -
get yourself the progs you desire - the fun, benefit and efficience is alot
higher here....
