So, you're no longer an AMD investor, or you think that you're rabid?

Eracer: As opposed to a completely unfair test from one party setting both its and its competitor's units up, selecting the hardware and the software used, modifying the drivers and with no supporting documentation. Of course if AMD got to pick the hardware used, the software, modified the drivers, did all of the setup and with no supporting documentation showed that Conroe 2.66GHz was 2/3rds as fast as a A64 X2 4800+, you would accept that at face value. No you would howl about how totally unfair it was. And rightly so. Now if AMD showed all the necessary documentation to allow the results to be reproduced by independent third parties, would you stop howling? Or would it take a perponderance of independent third party tests to get you to accept? Of course Intel did not provide either the documentation or allowed the third party testing. Pete
