Constantine, <it may also discredit the NWood Mhz numbering scheme.> MHz means "millions of clock cycles per second." I think it's pretty hard to discredit that "numbering scheme." Do you have a similarly concrete definition of "QuantiSpeed"? Tenchusatsu

Constantine, Re: "I agree completely but then it may also discredit the NWood Mhz numbering scheme. hehehehe" I don't see how it could discredit Northwood. Megahertz is an industry standard way of measuring the clock frequency of a processor. Quantispeed, on the other hand, is a half a$$ed way of making up for poor marketing on AMD's part. Instead of dispelling the notion that megahertz alone does not equal performance, AMD offers the end user a new number, which doesn't have a concrete way of being measured, and which has no direct comparison to other micro-architectures, allowing the number to be chosen quite arbitrarily. wbmw
