To All, I am currently looking at purchasing a MICRON 586/100mhz or a GATEWAY 2000 586/100mhz. Both use almost the same components: 100mhz chip Intel neptune set 16 mb RAM 4x CD-ROM drives 3.5" floppy Tape Back up 14.4 Internal modem PCI video cards and busses etc… The only main difference is that MICRON uses a SCSI interface on the I/O Controller and Hard Disk, etc. and Gateway uses IDE. What, if any, are the speed advantages of SCSI vs. IDE. This would be MY main concern between the two. Any thoughts would be appreciated. -Mike
