    AMD fanboy maybe switching to Intel ... suggestions?

    If I remember correctly, the AMD rating system was introduced because people were assuming that MHz equalled performance, while in reality much lower clocked AMDs outperformed Intel P3/P4s. The rating system was designed to give an idea as to what Intel Mhz CPU to compare to. The system was...
