No. Simple answer, he was trying to play you for a fool.

 

[Twsmit]

Its a nice computer circa 2001 but otherwise no, its not faster than a 2.8 P4... lol

Maybe if the intel 2.8 only has 32 megs ram lol

That system would be comparable to a 2Ghz Northwood Pentium 4, not a 2.8.

Ding Ding Ding we have a player attempting to foist the IPC idea the other way. Look at the blazing 1800 AMD with their super efficient 9 IPC and 11 Pipelines that smokes the super inefficeint 21 stage pipelined 6 IPC PIV garbage. AHHH creative marketing at its finest

At least they are trying to work it in favour of AMD.

Its all too often the other way around. Funny to see the shoe on the other foot in more than 1 arena for once.

Seems more like a moron than anything else.
Just look at some of those specs, "Verbatim CD-RW"? Ok, when did Verbatim start making drives?
64-bit video? What, an S3 Trio64? Oh wait, it's 3 months old, not 3 decades.
19" Compaq S700? Funny, I could have sworn all of the S700's we've had around here were 17", which would kinda make sense since the S900 is 19".

 

[rise]

price?

 

[allanon1965]

heh...he didnt list a price, and wont respond to emails🙂

 

[RussianSensation]

OF course it's like one of those Honda civics. Crappy specs on the box, but when you open the case you get 600hp, K&N filters, 3.73 gears, new pullies, magnaflow exhaust....ahem AXP1800+ system AS IN --------> FX55 overclock to 3.0ghz, dual-watercooled 6800Ultra @ 450/1200 each, 74 gig raptors in raid oh wait i must be dreaming....for $999.

People put crap like that in our local papers all the time. I read them just to get a good laugh. Sometimes you will see stuff like P133mhz internet ready.Paid $1500 new willling to take $300
