My reference is where I live.  I notice you do _exactly_ the same.  Most of
the world doesn't live behind such a socialistic tax structure.  Sure, it may
well be that Intel processors are cheaper here, because the company is
headquartered here.  I don't pretend to know, nor want to know, about the
various tax bites various world governments take out of their citizens.

But after all the taxes and everything, the 'percentages' must still hold.

That for whatever it costs you to buy a 1ghz single cpu machine, another 25%
will double the performance...
