February 5, 2002 - We've redone the guts of the system and many of the peripherals - this time we've got an Intel / RDRAM solution. It was a hard choice to replace the AMD setup, but, for workstation performance Intel is just a wee bit ahead of AMD's AthlonMP 1900+. Click on the Components links for more details on each peripheral.
