Intel MHz

[Jani]

Taken from Intel website


<< The Intel® Celeron? processors at 766, 733, 700, 667, 633, 600, 566, 533, 533A and 500 MHz >>



Why 667 MHz? I feel some superstition in the air

 

[3615buck]

Nothing new, they did the same for the PIII 667.

There is no number 13 in formula 1...

 

[dude]

Same reason, if you go to a skyscraper, and count the floors, you don't see 13 (I have once or twice) and you also don't see floor 666. Floor 667 is there but not 666. What did they do to it?!

 

[Jani]

Not too many skyscrapers here But it seems that there are so many people who really believe in numbers. IMO &quot;Buy Intel 666&quot; can't be good slogan

 

[ArMs]

I've seen buildings with a 666th floor, nothing bad ever seems to happen there, except for that one dude that...I don't really want to talk about it, but besides that one time, nothing happens...save that other...damn it. I guess it is a bad idea to have a 666th floor. 13th isn't so bad though...wait...DAMN!

 

[Engine]

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but..

&quot;The Sears Tower is the world's tallest building. The stepback geometry of the 110-story tower...&quot;

You don't see buildings with a 666th floor because no buildings go that high

 

[mosdef]

Yeah, what building has 666 floors? That's absurd.

-mosdef

 

[Rogue]

A building with 666 floors would be well over a mile high.

 

[randomlinh]

you think they mean room 666?

 

[Engine]

that makes more sense

 

[Whitedog]

It's subfloors.. GOING DOWN ANYONE?? Final destination Floor negitive 666... Door opens and Satan is standing there going &quot;MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA&quot;..

hehe

 

[ArMs]

My house is really big, 739 floors. What's so hard to beleive about that?

 

[aUt0eXebat]

the sears tower is not the tallest building... i think the twin towers have a few more floors

 

[fragarific]

twin towers = world trade center?

Then no. Its the two from movie about the stealing stuff.

how high can you go?

 

[dude]

The twin towers, are they conjoined twins? Identical or not?

I live on floor 666. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to get up there cuz people keep getting on and off...

 

[zippy]

Floor 666 eh? Interesting...did they happen to skip a few floors in this particular building...other than 13 of course?

 

[MrBond]

Ohhh....I think I'll get a 667 and underclock it to 666, so I can have an evil computer

 

[DRGrim]

Okay... Whats so bad about 666? Remind me.

 

[Nutcase99]

666 stands for the Devil, other than that nothing.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

I always thought that the actual speed of the chip was something like 666.66666666 and they're just rounding up.

 

[BA]

so why don't they round up 566 or the 766? They've been rounding down to 6 since 16 as far as I know.

And technically, 666!=satan. It is the number of the beast. Read the Book of Revelations

 

[jorken]

eh

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

<< so why don't they round up 566 or the 766? >>


Oops didn't even notice.

 

[stonerdave]

Yeah, the movie's with the twin towers (Petronas Towers in Malaysia) is Entrapment.

[Chooie]

Yep. I was actually visiting Kuala Lumpur when they were building the Petronas Towers, it was definitely a sight to see. By the way, has anyone seen Being John Malkovich? Freaky movie...
