Dan, Re: "Happy days are here again" Congratulations, Dan. Your wish has been answered. Who ever said the wish fairy never visits you? But now that you've got your wish, you'll either find out how gullable the consumer really is, or how some wishes aren't worth wishing for, when they actually come true (old axiom - "Careful what you wish for... it might come true"). Let's see how this new marketing idea works out. wanna_bmw

RE:"Great Job AMD!!!!!!!" It's all depend on how they will implement it. If they are going to take the P4 as the "STANDARD" they are wrong wrong wrong... For instance a Palomino-Athlon that runs at 1.4 GHz will be MODEL 1600, because AMD considers Palomino 1.4 GHz to be at least as fast as a Pentium 4 1.6 GHz. That’s stupid. Like Albert suggest, just take the mips. jjayxxx had also posted an article that was more converging to an Intel independent solution: home-investing.excite.com In place of merely comparing clock rates, AMD proposes uses a technical formula to rate processor performance, essentially multiplying the number of instructions per clock times the frequency.
