Scumbria, re:"PowerPC has three integer units, but they don't claim triple clock speed. Everybody uses a two-phase clock, but nobody has been slimy enough to try to quote one phase as the clock speed. Maybe that is what the Intel engineers argued with marketing about?" Well actually intel is simply saying the chip runs at 1.5Ghz. And the integer unit runs effectively at 2x. I don't consider that slimy. If they had claimed 3Ghz as Mhz of the chip then that would have been slimy. I am sure they were SORELY tempted though!!! regards, Kash
