Jim, >IMHO, AMD should market gigahertz chips as 1000 Mhz, 1100 Mhz etc.
A lot of people don't know what a Gigahertz is and the bigger the numbers the better.

Reminds me about 3 years ago or so, someone not around computers a lot asked me what a gigabyte was. I said a thousand megabytes. Said 'then who needs it, why don't they just keep using megabytes?'
Come on Jim, get with the program!

That's what salesmen are for! What's a gigahertz? Oh, that's a whole new range of computers. The're about a thousand times faster than megahertz computers.
