Pluvia... "The Computer Shopper is dated 8/14 but that means the info in it is months old due to print deadlines."

What a foolish statement. No magazine, none, nada, zip... uses months old info for a current news article unless stating it is using old info and why it is being used, print deadlines or not. All the tech mags pride themselves on bringing current information to their readers. Print deadlines go month to month with monthly mags. If the mag doesn't have their sh*t together by the deadline and if a competitor has written the story in the meantime it is then placed in the circular file. If no competitor has written the story then it will go into the next months mag.

Good try, Pluvia... but you lose!

Edit: I almost forgot... ROTHLMFAOAPMPFYS!!!!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Pluvia,

The Computer Shopper is dated 8/14 but that means the info in it is months old due to print deadlines...

If that were the case (which it isn't BTW -- they can complete the tests and publish the information almost immediately [since it's a monthly, it's probably at most a couple weeks old -- not old at all]), what do you think would have changed in two months? Do you think someone at Intel starting pouring glue into the 820 chipset to slow it down? Maybe AMD found a magic formula that makes the 1Ghz perform like a 1.5Ghz processor and hasn't mentioned it yet.

You're trying to defend an incorrect and nonsensical position.
