re: Also funny how in VERY small print at the bottom of the ad they gave the actual GHz for the 1800+. They must be a little uncomfortable with the model hurtz scheme, otherwise why the GHz reference. Protecting their rear from lawsuits?

I never thought that the size of the font is a protection against legal actions, am I wrong?
BTW the font is the same as in the rest of the ad

re: I saw the WSJ ad, it was pretty well done. But I wouldn't read more into it than marketing spin. Of course Microsoft worked with AMD on XP, you wouldn't want XX% of your market to be incompatible.

I would disagree. Amd is aiming at corporate clients. Amd is already popular in retail

John - Re: "why spend the $'s on the WSJ? You could get a lot more consumer bang for the buck other places. WSJ is used to target corporate IT guys. AMD would be better off with half the ad space in USA Today and local papers."

You touched on the heart of the issue - without breaking out the significance.

It was an AMD PAID-FOR Advertisement - right?
