You forgot, the heatsink has to be attatched to the case, you'll just have to beat him with the whole case. And you just said why intel is doing this, because "normal" users are ignorant dumbasses that think mhz means all. Hell go up to some random guy/girl on the street and ask them if a p3 933 is better than an athlon 900, if they don't ask what an athlon is then their answer will most likely be the p3.

Anyone else out there think that intel is just planning ahead? I mean think about it, i doubt this processor will be much, if any, hotter than the p3. Maybe intel is just introducing this with the new processor so when they start having problems with ramping the p4 they already have a big heatsink attatched and can attatch bigger ones because it is held up by the case, sounds like a better plan then introducing a new case design because the 2ghz p4 is getting hot. And if that is correct by the time the p4 hits 2ghz alot of the cases people own will fit this format.
