Ten I see no particular problem with that. The original goal is to provide customer with reasonable guidelines. Jerry made no secret that the model number formula would stay unchanged while the performance of amd chip is on par or better than intel's withe the same frequency, Intel is heading to ward large cache which would provide some extra boost so amd would likely to adjust formula. I keep failing to see why you're so against QS method. If amd would not live up to expectations, as you think it would not, than QS would backfire in the same way as PR once did. I, personally, see it as a dangerous path for amd but far better than marketing based on frequency. I can just see salesperson telling customer that for slightly more money he can get p4 system running almost at athlon frequency and p4 is Intel too so can not go wrong with that one. I personally would take athloin xp 1.5GHz (actaul clock) over p4-1.4GHz anytime but that is me :-)) Regards -Albert
