i think it's very funny that i caught myself already thinking:
"Ok..since i want to get a new system soon i'll probably get the *best*...eg. Athlon 1800+ for around $239"
(Because...."Does't '1800' sound faaaaaaaaaaaast ?")
Anyway....i figured out how ridiculous (and a waste of money it would be)....because the 1800+ also 'only' runs at 1.53Ghz......and for around $119 i can get a TBird 1.4 which *easily* can be overclocked to 1.60 or higher (wouldn't that make it a 1900+ or 2000+ ?
Well.....just wanted to mention how AMD's psychological games already show results (you just have to read here from people who want to buy new systems soon...most get a 1800+)
If it makes 'sense' is another question...maybe the sticker '1800' is criterium for a purchase ?
Ok..seriously i know there are advantages (like running cooler...drawing less power, whatever)..but it just doesnt make sense to me......but...anyway i'd like to advice anyone to go out and spend twice as much money for this 130 mhz more...since we are in a recession...and the economy needs a boost anyway...and noone wants to see AMD going down.... the whole blue chips industry needs a boost anyway......you get the idea
