Joe,

<Anyway, back in the Athlon glory days, original Athlon was faster, but but Pentium ran cooler. In the Hammer glory days, Athlons will be faster AND cooler. To top it off, it will also be able to run 64 bit OS and apps.>

You are on to something here. Someone who has access to AMD marketing should feed this stuff to them and ask them to consider making Cool'N'quiet mandatory on all desktops.

amd.com

The tpc.org stuff looks good also.
