If you're putting together a system through one of their combos, you'd better check your total system cost.. Seems that after you add the completed system to the cart, the price switches from $599 to $659 for a X2 4400 retail... Something's not quite right at Monarch.. Edit: It seems that...

With the present information available and Intel's credibility gap, I'd like to see some testing done to verify..

:laugh: People understand the argument that's being made.. You're missing the liability aspect.. Sure this looks rather damaging to Intel's credibility. Now business individuals with purchasing decisions that were unaware of this crippling behavior by Intel's Compiler may consider...

Sure it's a bad move, it's bad form, and I doubt many businesses will stand for purchasing a product offering from Intel that deliberately cripples its compiler(s) when it doesn't detect an Intel processor. After all who wants to buy a semi-crippled product? I doubt Intel will be found guilty...
