For what purpose, Odell? If you just make text processing, a 8088 worth $1 is decent enough. If you play chess and you are around 2000-2200 player, you will be defeated 9 times of ten or more by any top program running even in a 266 Mhz. If you are calculating rockets trayectories, probably the decent thing to do is get a Cray machine. I have an indecent 550 Mhz AMD-K-6 processor and I scarcely can get a point in five games from top programs. More than enough for me. My advice is: do not get involved in the rat race for speedier computers. You will never stop and you will never heal a deep wound in your budget. The sage, smart thing to do is to dedide what YOU need, not what your pals, sellers and magazines say you need. My best Fernando
