Kashy, RE:"Yet billions of dollars are at stake based on the fact that the consumers are buying into the Mhz BS." I know it's hard for you to separate the your tech from marketing. The average consumer isn't even going to read the popular media, clueless as you think they are. The average consumer doesn't know a benchmark from a teeter totter. The average consumer is going to buy based on Mhz first, HD size, amt. or Ram and so on. The fact that P4-SDRAm will be slow is irrelevant. The Mhz BS lives on... Look at it this way. Let's say two systems perform equally, same HD, other peripherals and cost about the same (maybe even the P4 costs slightly more). One is a 1.3 Ghz P4-SDRAM, the other is a 800 Mhz Celeron. Which one do you think would sell better? Jim
