[vtkusers] Choice of PC's

[Volpe, Christopher R (CRD)]

Before buying a Pentium IV, read the following articles:
http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q4/001120/index.html
http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q4/001122/index.html
http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q4/001125/index.html
http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q4/001206/index.html

I'd buy a 1.2 GHz Athlon Thunderbird and load it up with lots of SDRAM rather than buying an
overly-expensive RDRAM solution.
