sorry, on your second question, I'd get the extra cooling fan for the athlon
because insurance never hurts.  Some of this stuff is so new it's hard to
know the answers.

HI,
I ask 2 questions as the Athlon chips are close together  in price and the
2.5 mhz Athlon is $90   with the Intel 2.8 at around $230--not  mucch
compared with what we paid 2 years
Would the  performance  of the 3 chip  bethat  much superior to that of the
2.5 chip  if  one uses Access 32 or Eloquence,  streaming radio and Office
with X P?
And  could some ofthose  heat  issues be  "less"   now that the   chips are
.13  micron instead of  .18 micron supposedly making them  "cooler"?
In all these questions, I  have in  mind the use of JAWS  and applications
that seem to require more ram and  more  power over the  years.
thanks to every one.

ago!
