I just woke up, and don't feel like doing that calculation.  (I have a headache,
and I dread looking at those bills!)

The PIV is no slouch.  Anyone who tells you different is lying.  It's just as
expensive as hell.  The memory, 2 CPU's, cooler for both CPU's, and the mobo
where aroudn $2k.  (With the $800 mobo being the largest part of it.)

The AMD 1.4Ghz with everything mentioned aboove:  less than $800.  (With a GB of
_good_ ram.)

So if you were looking for value, I think you'd know where to look.  Also, the
AMD seems more stable so far.
