Re: I think truth in advertising demands that, if MHz or GHz is advertised on a notebook computer...

I kind of like it the way it is now. Really obvious truths like these have a way becoming known after a while, and the anger and frustration of a customer who feels he has been betrayed can be a long lasting thing.

You should hear the guys who replaced their PIII 600's with P4 1.4GHZ "netburst" systems and saw almost no improvement on their applications. In 6 months, Intel is burning through the goodwill that took 15 years to build.

Wait till the guy who spent $2,600 on his 1GHZ Intel HP notebook finds out that the $2,200 1GHZ AMD HP notebook is 50% faster when it's used as a notebook.
