If AMD advertised a 1.53ghz chip as a 1.8 ghz chip then it would atleast need a serious disclamer. But calling it a model 1800+ with no refrence to mhz or ghz leaves about 0% chance of a fraud charge, or atleast about 0% chance of the charge sticking While I don't seriously expect a charge of fraud to stick, I still believe it is misleading and intentionally so. AMD is depending on deception. Then later Intel had a 486 chip and they introduced a 486SX. The 486SX did not have the same FPU capabilities of the regular 486, its FPU was disabled. Was the term SX a fraud in this case? The 486SX did not have a disabled FPU, it had none at all. EP
