Guests from AMD and Maxtor will appear on radio talk show "Let's Talk Computers." Mark Bode, Athlon Brand Manager, discusses AMD's latest high-performance processors. Mike Cordano and Anna Jen discuss Maxtor's 5000 product line of external hard drives, ideal for speed-intensive applications requiring large amounts of storage space and sustained data transfer rates. Let's Talk Computers ranks as one of the longest-running computer radio talk shows, and airs on multiple radio stations weekly -- and 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Internet.

AMD (NYSE: AMD) is a global supplier of integrated circuits for the personal and networked computer and communications markets. On Monday, February 10, AMD introduced the AMD Athlon(TM) XP processor 3000+ -- the world's highest performing desktop PC processor. Featuring increased cache memory for greater performance, the AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ outperforms competing desktop PC processors by up to 17 percent on a variety of industry-standard software benchmarks. The AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ features 640KB of total on-chip cache memory -- an increase of nearly 70 percent over previous AMD Athlon XP processors and the highest amount of on-chip cache memory of any PC desktop processor. Increased cache memory allows more information to be stored closer to the processor, leading to greater performance on software applications such as digital content creation, 3-D gaming, media encoding and office productivity.

Maxtor Corporation (NYSE: MXO) is one of the world's leading suppliers of information storage solutions. The company has an extensive line of storage products for desktop computers, storage systems, high-performance servers and consumer electronics. Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Mike Cordano and Senior Director of Product Marketing Anna Jen discuss the 5000 product line of Maxtor Personal Storage. The series features USB/FireWire connections in a variety of sizes from 80 GB to 250 GB. Each product utilizes the exclusive Maxtor One Touch(TM) feature -- just a press a button gives you backup copies of your files from your internal drive. The award-winning 5000 product line of external hard drives combines fast, safe and reliable storage options with a wide range of choices to fit any personal storage needs.

ABOUT LET'S TALK COMPUTERS

Since 1991, Let's Talk Computers ranks as one of the oldest computer talk shows. On the air since 1989, hosts Alan Ashendorf, CEO, and Sandra Ashendorf, Client Services with Total Solutions, interview representatives from the computer industry about products and industry trends. Produced in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, you can listen-in to "insider" conversations, covering the latest innovations, hardware, and software and how they affect you. Guests have included representatives from Microsoft, Novell, IBM, Internet Wire, Computer Associates, Lotus, "PC World," the Cobb Group, Ziff-Davis, Symantec, and a host of other companies mentioned on our Past Guests page. Our goal is to let you know what is happening in the computer industry.

The syndicated Let's Talk Computers (LTC) can be heard weekly in 7 states and 24 hours a day on the website. New shows are uploaded in RealAudio and NetShow formats by Friday, 12:00 PM CST -- radio broadcasts begin airing the following day. Past interview segments are also available on the website.

LTC makes every effort to evaluate the products and services it showcases in real-world situations by applying solutions to real-life problems. To assist in evaluating both hardware and software under genuine working conditions, Let's Talk Computers utilizes the expertise and facilities of Total Solutions Inc (TSI). Since 1994, TSI has been instrumental in providing solutions that allow clients to migrate legacy data and applications to the Windows platform.

At no time will a guest or their company be billed for their participation on Let's Talk Computers. Unlike other computer talk shows that require "fees" from their participants, the only cost to the company is an actual copy of the shipping product, the cost of the phone call and the time involved in the interview. On an optional basis, many guests on Let's Talk Computers choose to participate in a postcard drawing by donating product as well.

Let's Talk Computers has partnered with Internet Wire, Inc. to increase its exposure to the technology community. As a sponsor of Let's Talk Computers, Internet Wire will distribute a weekly announcement to thousands of technology journalists, subscribers and websites worldwide, increasing the overall audience for LTC exponentially.
