FWIW ---

January '00 MAXIMUM PC magazine, p. 61, rates the Micron Millenia Max
"Fastest Intel PC We've Seen." Tyan Trinity 400  motherboard with 733Mhz
P-III, ATA-66 IBM 7200rpm IBM DeskStar, etc etc. Gets their "Kick A--" award.

MAXIMUM PC is a performance-oriented magazine with plenty of "attitude"
expressed in its contents and style.

Best wishes to all on the list for happy holidays and a properous new year.
