The article also asks 'why haven't AMD gone with the MHz doesn't equal performance as they have done with the new XP/MP chips, as it would be assumed the market for these will be consumers who don't generally look at benchmark figures?' More information can be found at the AMD website."

    Your post wasn't really offtopic so much as it was redundant. Either way, it got modded down as it should have.

    For future reference, posts that say only "me too" or "I agree totally" are redundant.

    Actually, I'd like an Athlon optimized version of Windows. It'd still be crap, but it would be fast crap.

    Obviously not by my long going thread in a MS newsgroup:

    Basically I'm having USB and XP problems and the people there say that it's gotta be a hardware problem. Even though the problem doesn't exist in any other OS, even Microsoft ones. They can only suggest buying more hardware... although it was getting this XP that `broke` USB on my PC. They don't understand that `Hardware Problem` == `Broken/Dead Hardware`
