bmw re: Then explain to me why a 1.33GHz Athlon XP with 266MHz front side bus can also be called 1500+, when the 1.3GHz Athlon 4 is 33MHz less, I guess for the same reason that mobile p4 called xGHz even though that it operates at half of that? :-)) re: AMD flat out lies when they say otherwise, and it strikes me as funny and ironic that you take their word for it I do not take their word for it. Intel has marketing that amd can only dream of so let intel demonstrate that indeed Model Numbers are misleading. Intel would not do it because in business you do not say that something is bad without providing an alternative and frequency is not much of an alternative. So what does intel do instead, they pay someone so it would look like intel is not involved -Albert

Re: AMD flat out lies when they say otherwise Actually, it's Intel that flat out lies when it calls its P4 a 2GHZ, or 2.2GHZ chip. Part of the chip runs at 100x4 mhz, part runs at half the model number speed and part runs at twice the model number speed. Someone should sue Intel for false advertising - because it is false. If Intel keeps performing stunts like paying Aberdeen to slander AMD, AMD should file suit against Intel's false advertising. As you've pointed out, mhz is an absolute, verifiable number, and P4 doesn't run at the mhz Intel claims. That constitutes grounds for a lawsuit.
