[geeks] WTB: P3-600 slot1 cpu

[Geek]

I avoid pricing on sites because I don't know enough about PC hardware
to know what conflicts there might be between hardware.

| I just quickly checked a local site (MLH) and priced out a complete
| Duron 1300 with 256MB and a 20GB drive and it came to $740. Not bad

|
| I have found that ordering PC hardware from the US is a pain and not

|
| And Celeron's and Athlon's don't have more profit. Pretty much
| everything has the same markup. An Athlon XP1700+ is only $10 more
than
| the processor I quoted, so why not go with it. And their are some
| Celeron's that are even cheaper than the Duron I quoted.
