  • [quote]Originally posted by Randycat99: What do you think is better for heavy CAD work- a 500 Mhz CPU with 500 KB of full-speed cache or a 1 Ghz CPU with 256 KB of full-speed cache? The 1GHz CPU would almost certainly be faster. An increase in …

  • [quote]Originally posted by snipe: Apple has 350 million shares outstanding. At 45 dollars that comes to 16 billion dollars. Course apple has 4 billion in the bank so the net cost is 12 billion assuming all stock is tendered. Not a lot for IBM an…

    in Dell's report card Comment by eskimo January 2002
  • myrealbox.com is pretty sweet. Gives you a SMTP and IMAP email service you can use from the comfort of your own email program, Outlook for me. Gives you 10MB of space. It's actually a service of Novell (anyone remember Novell?)

  • Why don't you pick up a few hundred bucks for it on ebay or something rather than destryoing it? You could use the money towards your new iMac or some accessories for it. And if you want to run the processor 100% at least do something useful f…
