Hey there Steve,

you're right but you do have to remember that the advertised speed of a CPU can be a bit misleading. If I understand things correctly AMD CPU's (in general) run at a lower clock speed than Intel as there are fewer processes from the data entering it until it exits, this means that, in a set time, a 1.8 Ghz AMD CPU will process the same amount of data a much faster Intel CPU.

I think that's right,

Mat.
