Well since i heard northwood is going to be under $300 i decided to replace my K6-2 system for wordprocessor, web building and programming. This is what im looking at. I e-mailed Intel and they told me. "Yes the Brookdale will run PC100 when it comes out. The High Northwood chipset the i850e will use RDRAM" LOL the i850e the highend chipset. Well this is what i got so far on my 2 systems. hehe i make all my upgrading PC cash is build pc's and selling them in the sunday paper.
