More confusion from AMD, can you handle it?

Nevermind.

So Tom's Hardware is significantly more reliable than maximum pc?

Exactly, as a matter of fact Barton "3200+" measures up to perhaps Pentium 2.8 GHz B, and trails badly nearly all of the line of C processors except the slowest one, 2.4C. Benchmarks are widely available.
Is that a successfull processor? Apparently not for AMD suffered 8th consecutive financial loss in Q2 2003.
There are all chances the release on Sept 23 this year will be another paper release of a processor they will not be able to deliver in volume before 2004.

No wonder because all of the AMD crowd support is mostly verbal since 99% of them won't purchase any AMD offer for more than $100. That is unfortunate truth AMD executives know well. All the hype and no substance, just like the Hammer myth.

"Huge" success of Opteron has yet to wrestle out 3% of server market despite of "purchases of thousands" as reported on AMD fan web sites.

It's a shame that more Americans don't support competition. Imagine a world where the only place you could shop was Wal-Mart.

Gee, I paid ~$300 for my AMD 3000+......
