RE:"There are a lot of reason to be mistrustful of the MHz as a benchmark for performance. Suppose you have 3 computers that are similarly equipped, but 1st 1 GHz Piii, 2nd has 1.2 GHz Athlon and 3rd has 1.3 GHz P4. 1.3 GHz P4 is the worst performing of the 3 of them on just about all of the benchmarks. Don't you think that it is Intel that has an obligation to warn people of the fact that P4 is slower than other processors rated at the same clock speed in order to maintain the trust in Intel brand" Well, they do but that warning label on the outside..."Intel Inside"... Yeah I think is a fraud that Intel doesn't inform buyers the P4 is the slower chip... Interestingly maybe after the Lawyers get involved the government will with some truth in advertizing law. Afterall, food processors have to list the ingredients and calories don't they <G>. Jim
