RE:"This is a simliar marketing strategy that Cyrix did for their 6x86, don't you recall their PR ratings for those chips? I also seem to recall that AMD used PR rating for their K5" Sure do...it wasn't the PR rating that killed them but their inability to scale and keep up in performance....so even the PR rating wasn't enough. P-II just left them in the dust. Intel also exploited the FPU facor for which both 6x86 and K5 were weak... Like I said before. I don't particularly like the Athlon PR idea. I would choose to discredit the P4s Mhz and selected benchmarks...at the least create doubt and the perception that Intel is duping customers... Of course, going against Mhz sells would take some creativity. Jim
