Quote: "There have been dozens of times when I spoke with ISP customers who would swear that their PIIIs were lightning on the internet compared to their older machines. The power of suggestion works and Intel no doubt recognized this. It comes as no surprise that Intel would carry on with this tactic. In fact just a couple of weeks ago I learned that one of my buddies (working in customer service) at work had been struggling with his internet connection. He was only able to get a 26.4 connection at home and he actually went out and bought a PIII 500 with the hopes of getting a better internet connection. He then connected at... you guessed it... 26.4. He then went out and bought a new modem and then he was able to connect at.... 26.4. I think he has it figured out now that you can only go as fast as your connection, but Intel sold a system based on their claim" -Zen [/i] >>
