RE:"Introduce lower memory latencies or higher memory bandwidths, and the less informed (read: majority) of consumers don't really care. "Megabytes Sells": we can call it McMannis' Corollary."

Right on...but it's Megahertz sells...you take the bandwidth and the latencies...I'll take the Megahertz anyday and outsell you. Especially to the average consumer.
Intel is sitting pretty. Too bad about the overall market. If this was 1999 we'd really be on a roll.

wbmw, re: "Funny as it sounds, the consumer market knows megabytes for memory and megahertz for processors."

This was the primary reason for increasing the graphics memory on many models - marginal cost but which would you buy: a 32MB version or a 64 or 128MB for "just a little bit more."

I agree that MHz is the primary benchmark for CPUs so it will be interesting to inquire of "lay person" opinions after 64-bit Hammers are on the market.
