Holy Mackeral, RE:"I see hints of a PR rating in that ad (i.e. Faster than a PIII/800.) Why would AMD want to compete on straight MHz, when they have a clock for clock advantage?"... I like the idea of using the double whammy of MHZ and PR rating.... Not only does the Athlon beat the P-III in MHZ but it would be equal to a P-III-800 if there even was one. This is a new twist on the PR concept...not having to apologize for lower MHZ... I see not defense form Intel unless they start saying you really don't need that kind of speed...the exact opposite approach to what got them the premiums on their chips.. . Jim
