I realize that this subject has been discussed before, but at that time i
wasn't in need of building a new computor. Would appreciate it if it could
be explained what the differences are between all the different cpu's on the
market today, Thunderbird, Athlon, Duron, (which I realize are AMD) the
pentium chips (III & IV), celeron, coppermine, etc.
My system will be used for small business applications, which include
extensive internet useage, spreadsheets, databases, some number crunching,
web page design and of course wordprocessing. I also will be running the
"seti" program in the background.

I would also appreciate a recomendation as to a monthly computor magazine(s)
that will help me to stay on top of changes to come.
