| Running A Different Race... It doesn't mean squat to a Sixpack with a Dell that a Conroe processor can overclock better than an X2, he isn't going to be doing that. If he's even aware of the IPC difference between the two, he'll just buy a 2.2GHz X2 rather than a 1.86GHz E6300. Odds are he won't, so he'll buy a 2GHz X2 if it's cheaper and be none the wiser for it. http://overclockers.com/tips01077/

| actually, joe sixpack will look further than Mhz, even the least knowledgeable PC user now knows Mhz isn't everything, thanks to AMD, and that same logic will make him buy Core 2

| Regular consumers won't know squat; they go for the lower price and higher whatever number on the box, 2 is better than 1.8 From the last commentary, older than 37 of age, one begins to think and act more conservatively; fast PCs or cars
