Paul,

CONSUMERS SHOULD BE OUTRAGED !!!!!

I agree. CPU's should sell for $50 including an integrated chipset and graphics.

And they soon will.

<All AMD does is crank up the supply voltage and increase the speed rating.>

AMD at least re-qualifies the parts for higher voltage
I guess. Intel Celerons 300A are known to run at
450MHz from the day one. Therefore Intel is doing
exactly NOTHING to introduce Celerons-433 yet charges
the chips accordingly. This is a REAL RIP-OFF.
