Re: "We started at 3 GHz, and have degenerated to 800 MHz in only 24 hours. If a demo runs once, it should run indefinitely. The same sequence of instructions running over and over again does not produce different results each time it runs."

Scumbria in your wild hysteria you missed the word "if". And it's simply not true that a system should run the same demo exactly the same way every time you run it. There is a chipset involved too you know, with constant i/o and refresh cycles happening. They do NOT happen in exactly the same sequence every time they run. This is A-0 chipset silicon too I presume seeing as previously there was no Willamette to debug it. Same goes for the motherboard. Yet they did a demo in front of a large audience of technical professionals for 2 hours. AMD did a quick showing of a MHz meter.

You are really digging yourself a deep hole Scumbria and I suggest you take a rest. You're losing it.
