1. Do you REALLY need it (Speed?) Matrox Millenium

Get real.. is it an improvement, or simply to quicken

up badly written software like Win 95? IF you are at 486-66 Matrox Mystique

or less , you may have a geniune Need for Speed... or if

you are running graphic intensive or numerically intensive Viewsonic Philips

programs...

2. THE MAIN BOTTLENECK today besides bad software by

certain companies.. is slow Harddisk speed. Yes, Jack it

has come to that... besides using Ultra and UltraWide SCSI,

Today you have another choice! Using our TX chipset HP Deskjets..

motherboards, you can attach the ULTRA ATA DMA/33

Harddisks which will give you at least 40% harddisk data

throughput improvement over IDE or EIDE. Marketing says

100%...burst. IBM Notebooks

3. DONT EVER FORGET to BACKUP your important DATA:

At least on your floppy diskette. If the data is more than

1.4MB you may want to consider ZIP or JAZ drives from us.

4. TRY to forget about pirated software...it doesn't mean you All brands harddisks

have to support Billy G. all your life, but you do know there

are many other companies that have shareware or less ex

pensive commercial software....check the internet! or call us

5. IF you do a lot of data work , and you cant afford to lose Adaptec SCSI cards

even one hour’s worth of your hard work, you may need a

UPS to give you some power when there are blackouts !

6. MMX !? Yes, well, show us at least one application and then

we’ll think about it. NON-MMX apps run about 14% faster... PCI Ethernet Cards

7. Despite what sometimes Intel prints on their CPU boxes or

advertises about their iComp 2.0 ratings... in actual tests

using any non-MMX tweaked benchmark around the world,

the Pentium 200 is FASTER than the P166MMX any day.

8. For users contemplating going to P-200 or more... pls see

if you can wait .. just until Fall 1997. AMD will be out with a

K6 Pr2-266MHZ which will be cheaper than INTEL.

9. Pentium 2 ? Hmmm.. looks like INTEL just needed a brand

name change... it is essentially a Pentium 233 MMX ..
