Dave, Re: "I don't expect Pricewatch data to mean anything to a consumers. And I expect anyone shopping pricewatch to know that a 1.533 XP kicks the living sh*t out of a 2.0 P4 and chuckle over the megachutzpa rating."

I agree with you about Pricewatch, more or less. I just figured that AMD marketing would finally take a proactive stance for a change, rather than making a lot of hype, and then not following through.

But I don't suppose you have any benchmarks available demonstrating the Athlon XP's ability to outperform the 2GHz Pentium 4, do you? BTW, what is the percentage increase in performance necessary for a processor to "kick the living sh*t" out of another processor, figuratively speaking, of course. :-))
