Scumbria,
RE:"I remember when the 386 33MHz came out. It ran Windows
much faster than any other processor. It was worth the premium.
But that was a long time ago...

Heck, I remember when the Intel 4004 came out, but thats another story. Maybe the first processor Engel helped FAB. <G>
If you remember the 386-33 then surely you remember the AMD 386-40.
40>33 and If I can remember, the 386-40 helped AMD garner 50% of the market before Intel moved on to the 486.
If AMD had the K6 running at 533 right now they would be doing a real number on Intel.

RE:"Fact is, nobody can tell the difference between a 500 Mhz and a
400 Mhz processor."

Sure they can...500 is bigger and faster than 400. Most people don't have two computers to compare and find out it really isn't that much faster.
