agreed. My point was that we were concentrating too much on MHz comparison while in many cases that should be very last consideration. AMD should not even bother to compare p4-1.7 with a-mp-1.2. If amd would try to educate the public all it would achieve is that it would look defensive.
The message should be simple:
1) does the job
2) reliable
3) best in performance (let intel be on defense for a change)
straight to the point short simple tv commercials with no crashing trains or funny suits
Regards

RE:"There are SO MANY reasons for branding campaigns, you just explained one of them. AMD still has a clone image to much of America. That includes Best Buy sales people."

AMD could very easily hire people to hang around retail stores on weekends and answer questions about AMD...even educate the sales people. But nooooooo...all they can do is come up with a lame train ad.
