Re: "btw, does intel's fastest processer outperform amd's fastest athlon?"

It appears that it still does. A recent look at AMD's new benchmarks shows they were all run with unavailable MBs, an unavailable version of DirectX and unavailable graphics drivers. In other words, phoney scores.

Skeeter Bug,

I have no problem with your opinion. It's just that your post seemed to come across as implying that only Intel had an agenda and that the DRAM manufacturers would gladly do anything for the benefit of the consumer. I just pointed out that is not so, and, as you said:

the dram mfrs want to do what they feel will maximize their return

There is nothing wrong with this. But do not imply that this necessarily coincides with what is right for the consumer.

btw, does intel's fastest processer outperform amd's fastest athlon?

Don't know, but I am sure that they are close and my bet is that Intel will have the fastest processor in the future.

Regards,

SK
