This is a winning war for both Intel and AMD. The only ones who lose are us, standing in line forking over 180 bucks for the XP 2000+ and still ready to roll out whatsoever needed to get the new Thoroughbred because it can squeeze out couple of more 3DMark points.

I would have posted more, but I need to run to the local computer shop to check whether they have arrived yet. :)

Moderation.

Re:Idiotic numbering scheme

[SuiteSisterMary]

It's false advertising in the sense that saying 'Our All New Ford Pinto 500HP can do 0 to 60* in under .1 seconds!' with the fine print at the bottom noting that the '500HP' does not refer to horsepower, and 0-60 is measured in repair costs, not velocity.

Anandtech couldn't overclock a celeron 300a. HardOCP those people are nuts, some forum guy out in the boonies built a small datacenter with enviromental controls so he could overclock more, nutsos all of them.
