Big YES... some is not that fast, and some aren't that good with
stuff. At my part-time peecee work, sometimes I see few machines
marked with many labels etc.

This is why the new computers and connectors now color coded, PnP,
etc. :-) Blech.

Those klutz should take Mac instead.

Blech! Cyrix... :-P Should had gotten duron or Intel PIII around
400. K6-2 500 is around bottom rung of current processors even those
are all AMD cpus. Oh, make sure that K6-2 gets large heatsink.
