WBMW, good point. If AMD thinks MHz doesn't matter, why are they trying so hard to make their "QuantiSpeed" ratings look like MHz? Tenchusatsu

re they are saying that megahertz are good, and that they want you to buy the Athlon because you think it's going to run like 2000MHz. that's why I like calling 'em AMD_wet_dream_MHZ

wbmw, Your assumption may be correct but when did they say that? I recall them saying that some 3rd party audits their ratings but they did not divulge what they are. I guess the fact that they are ratings and not mere model numbers implies that they are ratings according to some existing unit of measurement ( like Mhz ), in this case I see your point. That's why I had suggested here long time ago to abandon those things and go to models like auto manufacturers do. Would you have had a problem with that? C
