Hello,

I am due for a new computer and my driving requirement is Mathematica speed.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend which processor family (Intel or
AMD) and which OS (Win NT or WXP) has the best speed comparison.

I read a statement that said the AMD runs circles for FP ops. over Intel,
but there was no more detail, so I was wondering.

Note: I have always thought about going MAC, but just have too much software
that I use and cannot afford to.

Thanks for any guidance, Flip
