From: Chris Rehm <javadisciple@earthlink.net> > For years IBM has had to fight the problem of simple minded customers > who read MHz as the be-all, end-all of how fast a computer is. > > AMD hasn't succeeded in jumping this same hurdle.

The simple-minded market place will not listen. My contention was that if those same companies had chips with a rating higher than the highest Intel they would stop saying that MHz is misleading. After all, we cannot ignore all those simple-minded people out there, can we?
