TechieGuy, I have to make an observation. A couple of months ago when it looked like the Athlon was falling behind in Mhz a lot of people here panicked, sold and were talking as if the end was coming for AMD. A couple of posters were suggesting a PR-like scheme or at least dropping the Mhz ( my idea )to bring AMD back but they were basically ridiculed by everyone else. Now that it seems that the XP Ratings are working and AMD might actually break even or maybe post a profit ( depends on Flash ), we're all getting cocky again. I suggest we stick with reality for a while and hope for AMD to execute well ( or Intel to stumble ) otherwise by the end of next year we may have a 2 Ghz .13 Pally against a 3Ghz Northwood in which case the XP rating will be useless.

Techie, Re: "No need to read the rest of the "pinto" comments when it is apparent that Mr. Intel rep. can't even characterize something as simple as that." I was wondering about this as well. It's uncharacteristic of an Intel representative to get on a personal level with AMD. I figure it might be a play on words with something that Jerry Sanders said during a Q2 conference. Sanders said that a crummy car with a rebate (meaning Pentium 4 with RDRAM rebate) is still a crummy car. Sanders attempts to get personal with Intel on many levels, and I don't condone it. Neither do I condone what that Intel representative said, although the 'play on words' theory does strike me as funny. wanna_bmw
