Go up one level in this thread


I've had my 600MHz Athlon since September - no problems at all
with it. It runs Crafty very fast, also had no problems
with Zarkov in BookUp, Fritz 4.01 in ChessBase Light.
As yet I don't have any other chess programs on it, but I'm sure
I will soon...

As for other games - eg Command and Conquer, Civilisation,
Need for Speed - all great!

The very worst I've heard about the Athlon is that in the Rebel
benchmark it was 'only equal to a PII of same MHz' - but what
on earth is wrong with that? No reason not to buy one...
And in many bechmarks, reviews etc it is reported faster and stable.
