Yes..but...AMD has not been able to produce A64's in vast volumes needed to secure long term high quality OEM contracts...they do know what is needed to do this but really are not sharing this information with the investment community...microsoft is committed to 64 bit operating system but will not put if forth until AMD can produce A64s in volume...2 million processors per quarter will not cut it in my book and that is why we have all these naysayers about AMD on this message board...
I found something new about that Ion external enclosure this evening. I mentioned before that there is a second cable that you can plug into a second USB port to power the ION drive.
So I don't need to carry an external power supply for the disk drive. That's fine but the r3000z only has three USB ports (my Dell's only have one or two ports). I like to use an external optical mouse (usually USB with a PS/2 adapter) and an external Keyboard (usually PS/2). So I have a Y-adapter that will do two PS2s to one USB. But that would take 4 USB ports if I didn't have the PS/2 adapter (and I don't for my Logitech mouse).
But that cable that allows you to power from USB #2 also has a PS/2 port on it. In fact it has a male and a female PS/2 port on it. Experimenting told me that it was keyboard only. It didn't work with the mouse. So I can plug the keyboard into the second USB cable for the USB drive and just plug the mouse into the third USB port. I have a feeling that you can even power the external drive from a PS/2 port on a laptop and then piggyback your keyboard. This external drive enclosure costs a lot more than a CompUSA model but it certainly provides all of the bells and whistles with it.
BTW, just finished my 2003 return. I could buy a fairly nice car with the refund. I guess I misunderestimated the 2003 tax cut.
