Tony, Re: "Now QuantiSpeed is an architecture! How can a model naming scheme, whose purpose is to confuse and mislead the customer, be an architecture? Anyone, individual customer or company, that can't see through this growing AMD charade is blind as a bat." What do you think of the point that I brought up earlier? AMD seems to think they can get away with calling their new mobile part a Model 1500+, even though it runs at 1.3GHz on a 200MHz bus, while their previous Athlon XP 1500+ ran at 1.33GHz on a 266MHz bus. wbmw

Tony, <Now QuantiSpeed is an architecture! How can a model naming scheme, whose purpose is to confuse and mislead the customer, be an architecture?> AMD has been calling it "QuantiSpeed architecture" ever since they invented the ModelHurtz scheme. I saw it at Best Buy over the holiday shopping season, and I got a kick out of the sales rep who tried to explain to me how "QuantiSpeed" worked. The funny thing is that no AMDroid can explain to me how they would define "QuantiSpeed architecture." All they'll do is say, "Well this is no worse than 'NetBurst'," but at least I can define what NetBurst refers to. Tenchusatsu
