New AMD Athlon 2600 Processor Released
Ertai writes "Looks like the latest AMD processor is out today, and is taking it right to Intel! Running at 2.13 GHz, the Athlon XP 2600+ is reviewed at Amdmb.com. The benchmarks show that the new Athlon on a 'revision B' Thoroughbred core with the frequency increase is able to beat out the Pentium 4 2.53 GHz processor on almost every test. Not only that, but it is a good overclocker as well! Check it out." AMD's press release on the topic also notes a Athlon 2400 was released as well.
I actually have to stop, and ask myself this question. If mods get only 5 +/- mod changes per post, who would waste them on a post that WANTS AMD to succeed considering their processors are cheaper, and up until recently when intel beat them out (but of course no longer..) faster and more overclockable?
I think they should make a change to the mod system so users can see who has the balls to mod down posts like mine on a popular forum filled with programmers and computer geeks alike who tend to build their own systems (there needs to be a poll on slashdot about who uses amd as opposed to intel).
So please, Mr. Anonymous Coward/Moderator, do tell who you are.

I've had similar issues in other threads. I think that when your posts are modded you should be able to see who modded them. That should happen automagically with no user intervention possible. The only question I have is should everyone see who modded a post, or only the poster who was modded?
