John, >If people that spend 18 hours a day thinking about AMD microprocessors get confused, what will it do to your average tech challenged consumer? Exactimunde, except make it 24 to include their dreams. I thought Ten was more vocal. OK, well, call it a tie. Tony

JF, <I thought the most amusing part was that the droids on the AMD thread kept getting confused on what rating meant what MHz> It's worse than that. Heard this secondhand: A sales rep from Best Buy explained that "quantispeed" meant that the processor actually ran 4x the speed. This is the kind of confusion AMD wants to create with the slogan "AMD Athlon™ XP processor with QuantiSpeed™ architecture." Remember when the 'Droids were going ape over "NetBurst" or "Performance Enhancements for the Internet"? Tenchusatsu
