I'm going mobile!  I've finally decided to purchase an Alternative CPU based notebook computer.   I've been wanting one for a very long time and current prices are extremely attractive.  Compaq is offering a some very nice K6 and MediaGX based notebooks.

In an effort to raise funds,  I've reluctantly decided to sell more hardware from my benchmarking lab and part with one of my thoroughbred benchmarking machines.  This machine is a screamer and run applications so fast it will bring tears to your eyes.

First off, let me say that I love this PC and I would hold on to it if I could afford it.  This machine has faithfully served and is in perfect working order.  I use it as a file and print server when not performing benchmarks.   This machine has been thoroughly tested, burned in, and all parts are all in perfect working condition.

Here is what the system is made of:
