<Is it a law of physics that this only applies to AMD Athlons ?> I think you are confusing "physics" with "psychology" :)

Paul - RE: "When Athlon systems cost $250 MORE than the older Pentium III systems, you and your AMDroid brethren immediately implied that People Will Pay for the Performance !" Simple, Doc - The Athlon's performance BLEW AWAY the PIII's performance at the time. The Athlon was CLEARLY the superior processor. Now, Coppermine is JUST faster. No blow away by any proportion. Check out the Gamespot reivew you seem to love. Please show me Coppermine blowing away the Athlon.
