Windows 2000: Is it right for you?
Chances are NO, Windows 2000 was designed for larger corporations with strong administrative features in mind.  The Windows 2000 series requires more than a pretty decent computer.  Ads and media have been claiming this to be the next generation and an upgrade to your existing Windows operating system. It was supposedly a merge between there existing home and business products.  This hasn't been the case.  Now that it has unfolded, Microsoft isn't telling you that they recommend it installed by the manufacturer/ assembler of your computer. This next generation operating system seemed to have really followed NT's steps.  That is the steps of the business administrator in mind.  Many system components are left out of the box during the install of the operating system. These items are called drivers.  Again as stated on the box of the 2000 series is that Microsoft recommends these products for the business inclined.  For those personal computer owners wishing to get the latest and greatest, beware the media and rumors.  For those technically inclined with a budget for decent hardware, enjoy.  Remember no matter what hardware you have, you will see a considerable speed difference in the Windows95/98 or Windows NT to Windows 2000 upgrade.

Did I mention the price?

 

AMD doing a good job keeping up.
AMD's latest processor the 800MHZ is definitely a worthy competitor to Intel. AMD has been around for some time now as a less expensive alternative.  We have seen so far that the cheaper price tag has showed itself in some mainboard incompatabilities as well as overall performance issues.  There latest processor has take a spotlight.  The Athlon. Recently benchmark tested to be the supreme processor.  There performance can now match or even exceed Intels top product line the PIII processor.  We all know of course that we never can put Intel out of the picture.  Intel always has some more tricks up its sleeves.  It's new line the Willamette processor which claims speeds in excess of 1000MHZ that is 1 GHZ. Let's just wait and see.  But for now, there is an even match out there.  Looking at the same processor with comparable prices, you get AMD for performance or Intel for support.
