John, Re: "Thank you but does 3400+ really mean what they hope it to mean or is it something to fool the unsuspecting cpu buyer." I suspect that 3400+ will be using the same formula that AMD is using today. Their lack of differentiating it so far reinforces my belief that they intend it to be a linear "adder" to their megahertz rating in order to look competitive wrt Intel. Going forward, this is a losing strategy, so I would either expect AMD to either re-adjust the "formula" later this year as reality sets in, or they will experience the "Pinnochio Factor" that has been long predicted from both this thread, and other independent sources. Re: "By the way Saunders for now is my hero since his great testimony today, so don't get to vitriolic." I don't get it. Sanders (not Saunders!) read from a script - handed to him from Bill Gates himself. Why would this make him your hero? wbmw
