Sometime something that is the truth in one sense is not true in another. I could say I am bigger then my brother Mike because I outweigh him. He could say he is bigger then me because he is taller then I am. If people are used to thinking of bigger in terms of height but all of the suddent I start telling everyone that I am bigger then Mike I am not "lieing to tell the truth". Tim

<< so because the truth sometimes lies, you have to lie to tell the truth? >> Do you think AMD would have come out with the PR system if the P4 performed on a clock per clock basis equivilent to an athlon or p3? The fact that the p4 loses a non trivial amount of benchmarks to machines running at 30%-50% lower speed make it a much bigger farse then anything AMD is doing. An AMD 1800 chip will outperform the p4 1.8ghz chip, so why complain about the naming convention? If the performance wasn't there, I'd be the first to agree, but the performance is there, and it wasn't AMD that devalued the mhz.
