Ding Ding Ding we have a player attempting to foist the IPC idea the other way. Look at the blazing 1800 AMD with their super efficient 9 IPC and 11 Pipelines that smokes the super inefficeint 21 stage pipelined 6 IPC PIV garbage. AHHH creative marketing at its finest

At least they are trying to work it in favour of AMD.

Its all too often the other way around. Funny to see the shoe on the other foot in more than 1 arena for once.

Seems more like a moron than anything else.
Just look at some of those specs, "Verbatim CD-RW"? Ok, when did Verbatim start making drives?
64-bit video? What, an S3 Trio64? Oh wait, it's 3 months old, not 3 decades.
19" Compaq S700? Funny, I could have sworn all of the S700's we've had around here were 17", which would kinda make sense since the S900 is 19".
