That *was* really annoying. Currently, I'm using "Netburst" as a name for the microarchitecture, but that is missing a certain pizazz. I really hope that Intel keeps using this term, though, or it'll screw up all my internal databases. :p

Of course, I'm anal retentive, and I want AMD to go back to the 'K' naming scheme again, or maybe the Am*86 set. ^_^
