If Intel can't find enough friendly benchmarks for the Willenium, I think the best thing AMD could do would be a limited edition $1899 per processor 1.4/1.5 GHz Mustang special edition. Stick it on a 760 motherboard, send it to the major reviewers, and get the "cheap" label permanently attached to the Willenium. Megahertz may sell, but people are quite capable of attaching the "cheap" keyword to a processor that is low-performing. Once this association is made, high-end buyers will absolutely refuse to touch the thing. K6-xs are the best example-- crappy graphics performance led to permanent low-end billing. -Eric
