Gary - To be fair to Intel, I don't think Intel is going to market a 1.5 GHz Willamette as anything but a 1.5 Willamette. IF one watched the videos., Yu nor anyone else was claiming that this was a 3MHz chip.

Gary,

I want my machine to have a 1.5GHz FPU, 3GHz ALU and 1.75GHz everything else".

We may see the industry going to a standardized "PR" performance rating system. In fact, I would welcome this. It would be nice to see standard PR ratings on every system in every store and on every ad. Maybe separate ratings for Business, Gaming, High End, and Internet. Think I'll send Ralph Nader a letter.

Pravin.
