Understand, the questions is what for customers have the expert you have (very
important). If this dealer for sell more on private persons, I can understand
him, why not!

This is right but never forget ... a customer which one time have bigger
problems with a hardware will never forget it.

Look, the Pentium III is the best processor in all the time (after the
statistics I know, of course today not to the topic "power").

This is a big advantage for Intel, also the Celeron systems works fine without
any problems since many years ... the next advantage.

In this area we speak about computers the most have no interest on Celeron
processors :-) but for how many users is a fast comptuer really important?

My favorite is my Pentium III 550 MHz with Intel system board and 384 MB Rambus
800 MHz Ram. I have installed XP and the OS works relly fast. I can see not a
different if I write a letter or look a little bit on webpages / fora / mails.

Best
Frank
