Yousef - It really is the "process thingy" !! <ggg> ... I'm sure we are about ready to hear from the AMDroids how there is no "need" for additional performance. <ggg> Yes - Dan3 has already adopted that tact. He claims that an Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz and an Athlon 2000+ are all that anybody needs. Funny - I don't recall him saying that the day AMD launched their Athlon 2000+ - do you? Monica

How come the fastest retail-advertised Intel machine this weekend was a 2 GHz Northwood? Where are all those 2.2, 2.4 and 2.53 chips going? Typical of what I saw is a P4-1600 desktop machine with a 15" LCD display selling for slightly MORE than an Athlon XP 1600+ laptop with 15" display. Would anyone be dumb enough to buy that P4? That was in Fry's Saturday ad. Fry's did not advertise AMD machines at all in the 1st quarter. Now they're advertising and selling them like crazy. And they totally dropped the practice of not advertising AMD's quantispeed ratings. Petz
