<The popular media are clueless. As are most of the techie web-sites (yours included).> I find some posts on this thread clueless (yours included). JC's website on the other hand I find very informative. JC is the place I first go after I miss a day or two of the news. Regards, Kap

Kash.. sometimes you have about as much tact and manners answering people as Paul E. does... if you dont agree with someone opinion on something.. fine.. but there's no need to demean the person or site or be rude about it..

Kashy, RE:"Yet billions of dollars are at stake based on the fact that the consumers are buying into the Mhz BS." I know it's hard for you to separate the your tech from marketing. The average consumer isn't even going to read the popular media, clueless as you think they are. The average consumer doesn't know a benchmark from a teeter totter. The average consumer is going to buy based on Mhz first, HD size, amt. or Ram and so on. The fact that P4-SDRAm will be slow is irrelevant. The Mhz BS lives on... Look at it this way. Let's say two systems perform equally, same HD, other peripherals and cost about the same (maybe even the P4 costs slightly more). One is a 1.3 Ghz P4-SDRAM, the other is a 800 Mhz Celeron. Which one do you think would sell better? Jim
