Tony, re: I think AMD should match their new Athlon line with Bra sizes. Funny. Most computer buyers are guys, right? I can just see the boasts, "I got me an Athlon double DD!. I wrote this on the AMD thread: From a marketing perspective, it's a disaster. Everybody has spent their life buying products based on numbers from manufacturers that they trust. The weight of a bag of vegetables, the octane of gas, the mg. in a medicine... It would be OK for AMD to say in their promotional material that "we think this 1.6 performs like an Intel 1.8". But to label it as a 1.8 is deceptive. AMD will be found out. And the consumer will be pissed. And I don't blame them. John
