JF, <I thought the most amusing part was that the droids on the AMD thread kept getting confused on what rating meant what MHz>

It's worse than that. Heard this secondhand: A sales rep from Best Buy explained that "quantispeed" meant that the processor actually ran 4x the speed.

This is the kind of confusion AMD wants to create with the slogan "AMD Athlon™ XP processor with QuantiSpeed™ architecture." Remember when the 'Droids were going ape over "NetBurst" or "Performance Enhancements for the Internet"?
