And just why would the P4 be a fraud but the Athlon is fine? Athlons crash. Athlons have no safety mechanism yet you call the P4 a fraud.

You are comparing two very different issues. Assuming AMD only uses the new thermal monitor in Palominos to prevent catastrophic failures due to for example heat sink and/or fan related issues (we will have to wait and see on this), then it is not the same as clock throttling running normal real word applications in a system which includes a properly designed and maintained conventional low cost thermal solution. You know this and yet you persist to equate the two very different issues. Actually, I think you are the one that is the fraud.
