NaS, Re: There are just way too many low mhz machines still in use for a 1 GHz machine to be a doorstop.
Except that the C3 can hardly be compared side by side other 1GHz machines. If you looked at the performance, it would even make a Pentium 4 at the same frequency look good. Those with 600MHz Pentium III systems are better off keeping what they have, and that's no exaggeration.
