I am looking to upgrade my system to either the micron or gateway 120 pentium are there any suggestions to which system runs 3ds better. I am leaning towards the micron because of some previous problems with gateway support. Thanks Sam

Sam, I'm a Dealer in Green Bay Wisconsin and I've got clients that have both systems….however there is no comparison between the Gateway Service and the Micron Service. Micron is the Best! Many of my clients have had me work on their systems ( add Pars, sound cards, hard drives etc. _not repair_ ) after they've purchased them from both of these companies and I can tell you from first hand experience that the Micron is the Better of the Two Machines. The Micron Service is sooooo much better than the Gateway that they don't even belong in the same conversation. Also as an aside…if you go to any of the Trade shows you might have noticed that the computers that Autodesk themselves use for their demo machines are usually always the Microns. <BG> I have no stock in Micron and I actually deal with an OEM that competes with both of these companies so when I say the Micorn is the best that's from hands on experience not because I've got any vested interest. I felt I had to qualify that. <g> Murph'

Sam, << I am looking to upgrade my system to either the micron or gateway 120 pentium are there any suggestions to which system runs 3ds better. >> For a while now I have been using a Micron P90 PCI PowerStation for my 3DS workstation. I haven't had a single problem with it. I have also loaded Windows NT 3.5 workstation on it without any problems at all. Mark
