Subject: AMD XP CPU Hits the Wall!

Well... finally it looks like AMD's model numbering plan has fallen on its arse!
Toms Hardware benchmarked the XP3200+ and in pretty much EVERY instance it looks
like the thing is actually closer to a *true* 2.8GHz Intel P4. This means its gonna be damn hard to justify the tag, AND sell it to people when that particular chip simply isn't doing anything near what its supposed to..
Funnily enough however, upto about XP2400+ it really does appear as though those
CPUs did go toe-to-toe with the Intel P4s of equivalent speed (And AMDs are much much
cheaper!)
Which is somewhat comforting to us AMD based Musos running on these "Budget" CPUs.. ("2.4GHz performance" being more than enough in my book, and I'm only on a 2100+)

If you're referring to the colour of my stools, well that depends on whether I've enjoyed a nice Shiraz with my meal or not...
Though why you'd want to know about the colour of my stools is beyond me... frrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk!!!
