Paul: The lack of readily available 1.2 GHz AthWipers - which use COPPER - makes me wonder just how good that AMD copper process is.

The lack of readily available 950+ MHz PIIIs makes me wonder just how good that Intel process (P858?) really is.

Seriously, though... and you know this stuff darn well Paul... a major problem for 1.2GHz AMD chips is that they consume enough juice to cause city-wide brownouts.

I seem to remember a few comments by you:

"Why doesn't the 60 watts dissipated by the 1.2 GHz ThumperTurd freak you out if you're so concerned about power dissipation?"

"The AMD AthWIPERS dissipate so much heat that they GLOW in the DARK."
