Subject: AMD 1.4Ghz is the best choice for computer chess.

Dear CCC,

With PC prices dropping faster that a rock on Jupiter, we must all go out and
buy new computers.  Like Torstein, I bought an AMD 1400 Mhz machine because I
got it at a good price--$1020.00 US.  That was a special sale.  It is already
out of date because the new Via KT-266a motherboard moves data at a 10% faster
rate than the "old" mobo.  The old videocard is half as fast as the ATI 7500
that came out this week.  So the secret to buying computers is to get a fast
machine with some older technology.

Go out and get one of these fast AMDs and don't feel too bad that you are
getting obsolete technology.

Enjoy computer chess,
