EPI - Re: "Johan is a columnist at www.aceshardware.com, I think he is the webmaster too. "

If that is all he is, I would not believe much of anything he says.

For example, The Microdesign Group (MDR), under Michael Slater, are composed of "supposedly" experts in CPU design - and even THESE GUYS have eternally underestimated the performance of nearly EVERY Intel CPU since 1987 and OVERestimated the performance of CPUs that compete with Intel.

They had the PowerPC, MIPS, and UltraSparcs beating the pants off anything and everything Intel designed.

And some of those MDR guys actually designed a chip or two in their careers.

To rely on a columnist with NO CPU design experience - or architectural experience - is dumber than dumb.

But you can believe whom you want to believe - it's YOUR money.
