RE:"The good thing about Athlon 4 is that it undermines Intel's Pentium 4 advertising campaign, where they promanently display the numeral 4. In their ads, they are trying to impress "4" in the minds of consumers, so that when they go shopping for a new computer, they migrate to the Pentium 4. Simple brain washing, really. If AMD goes with Athlon 4, Intel will have to change their ads, and focus on "Pentium", rather than "4". But "Pentium" is starting to sound a little old and slow." Shoot, go for Athlon 5 or 7 or higher...why put yourself on a catch up with P4?

<FONT COLOR=GREEN>HOW ABOUT FOUR GREEN HULKS BURSTING OUT OF THEIR BLUE BONDAGE; NOT THAT AMD HAS THE MARKETING SAVVY (THOUGH IT HAS, IN THE PAST DISPLAYED THE WRY SENSE OF HUMOR) TO EXECUTE SUCH AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN? Patient Regards, DARBES
