Scumbria,
RE:"You should try selling this critical information to some CPU companies. I find it simply amazing that none of these multi-billion dollar companies have ever figured this out.

Just to make sure I'm clear about this- are you saying that higher MHz commands a higher price"...

Intel has known this for years...that's why dey' is a' scramblin' so much to get back the MHz lead and hypin' da' SSE benchmarks so it "looks" like they have a equal FPU to da' Athlon.
On the udder hand, Cryix didn't realize dis' and went out of business.
I've followed you on the BB since you came on...you first liked IDT, then Cyrix...both Mhz/FPU LOSERS and out of business. I see you have now come to the appreciation that MHz sells! <G> As far as commanding a hiher price, yes, but that's just part of the story...sigh...
