Elmer, yes, I do think posts on message boards can move stock one way or another.

Presumably this is why the SEC cares about internet message boards, and why they busted the guy who caused Lucent to shed 10% of its value in one hour through a Yahoo [false] posting.

Of course, you evaded the center of the question, but no matter.

Regarding the Athlon FPU, how do you then explain the Duron outperforming equivalently-clocked P3's on 3d studio Max benchmarks? Magic? Every review site must be lying when they assert the Athlon FPU is superior?

Elmer - RE: "Re: "Since we know the Athlon FPU crushes the P3 FPU"

I'm afraid we don't know that at all Doug. AMDroids certainly want to believe that and if it makes them feel good then I see no harm."

Dreaming in SPEC-land again? SPECfp doesn't reflect what is available in real world performance with regard to Athlon and PIII, and you know that.
