We've found some good prices but are wondering if we should go with Intel, AMD or Cyrix. He feels the need for speed... I've heard mixed reports on all of them... Intel is slow, but solid. AMD isn't that great, so I've heard. And Cyrix has the best speed but marginal quality control and heat problems (I'm running a 686 150+ its an IBM chip, which has tighter process specs... but still I've had heat problems with it...) thanx for any suggestions, john - ---------------------------------------------- | john-at-virtual-cafe.com | | http://www.virtual-cafe.com/~john | | jesus - don't leave life without him... | - ---------------------------------------------- | Diesel Benz, Full Size Jeeps and xj's... | | found on http://www.digest.net | - ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 03:57:08 PDT From: kc7nol-at-juno.com (Daniel A Jacobs) Subject: Re: Diesel Prices If you want to try to see if you can save a little money on diesel, try getting an account with pacific pride or a similar commercial type fuel station. Many of the stations have nothing more than fuel pumps and an oil dispenser, but here's an example of what I'm dealing with in Vancouver, WA Advertised price, texaco down the street from my house- $1.23.9 advertised price, space age gas station, a little further down street-$1.22.9 Pacific pride near where I work-not advertised price according to monthly bill-$1.17.9 Plus Pacific pride will do the math to show you your MPG and miles driven if you take the time to enter your odometer when you turn on a pump. A few are connected with truck stops or have a minute mart nearby, but most are stuck out on a street corner or behind someplace and have little extras, hence the cheaper price. I would suggest looking into this alternative. By the way, just about all of them are open 24 hrs, which is nice if traveling through a 17 hr town.

Could some of you share any experiences with 300E's, and any advice? I'm currently in a 240D which is, of course, absolutely bulletproof.

I've got the MB production models book (up to 95) that will at least have the specs for comparison. What year is your 240D? When you mention 300E's you mean, like a gas version???
