Re: I don't understand why you seem to have something against that claim....[that] Athlon already IS the price-performance leader.

Cirruslvr,

According to that logic, INTC 8 way servers are total crap because they are cheaper than SUN servers or Compaq Alpha servers.

Hey, if Paul thinks INTC servers are garbage, I won't argue with him. He should know, so he's probably right.

I still use some INTC based servers, so personally, I think I'd tend to disagree with him on this issue. I guess this is just another subject Paul thinks I'm wrong about.

:-)

Regards,

Dan

Cringe - Re: "Athlon already IS the price-performance leader."

Right you are.

It sure isn't the Performance leader - with Intel's aging, crippled P6 core out-performing the brand new 7'th generation AthWipey.

Dropping the price has restored its bragging rights.
