John, Re: this is really a great marketing scheme, even the AMD faithful can't figure out what the number means This is only the initial confusion IMO. In some months we will probably discuss the Athlon XP on its model numbers not clock-speed. I agree that the rating has many potential problems and will confuse some customers but it's not that AMD is brain-dead by introducing it. It has certainly its advantages. And since -- according to company sources -- HP, Compaq and Fujitsu-Siemens will adopt the new rating, at least OEM support will be there. And that's the most important accomplishment for it to achieve its goal IMO. Andreas
