May I ask what is your Fritzmark?  Do you know of any FMarks on the Athlon 1.2
or similar?  I understand that you do not have Deep Fritz, perhaps Deep Junior?

The 1.4 or 1.5 Pentium 4's are due out Monday unless it is more Vaporware?
I read that Dell pulled its P4 out of the test Computing Gaming World did on
games due to its terrible score.  That could have been anything though, not
necessarily a poor processor!  Athlon is close to its 1.5 gig also.  I think
Q1-2001 without a doubt...

Where did you pay only $3000 if I may ask!!
