Jim, <Taking out the Bapco and bandwidth stuff and it becomes unclear.> What performance-sensitive tasks do you do on your computer nowadays? For me, there are only two: 3D games (which is a lot less important thanks to my Sony PS2) and encoding MP3s. And both are what you consider "bandwidth stuff." Tenchusatsu

Jim, re: When it comes to bang for the buck, AMD is the clear winner but Intel is very clever. Who knows what they sell P4s to large OEMs for to keep them faithful. A strange comment. AMD is the "bang for the buck" winner, a good thing, right? But you seem to imply that Intel is "clever" to sell to OEM's at a lower cost, to keep them "faithful", a bad thing? Do you believe that Intel prices should not be competitive? re: AMD just dropped the ball starting back about 1-2001 when they should have gone to the PR rating rather than waiting for Palomino. Yes, then AMD would have lost the retail and OEM marketplace even sooner. John
