No I didn't, your statement was that he would have the Processing Power of
a Pentium which is completely INCORECT...Raw speed doesn't only determine
processing power of a CPU. If you have even a basic knowledge of CPU's you
will know that a 32 bit chip can't match a 64 bit chip for processing
power.

This statement appears to be just another case in this area where people
are trying to sell products they know nothing about, or trying to CON some
poor sucker into buying outdated or old stock.


This area doesn't need a Moderator....It needs someone with a Conscience...
