I have already taken figures from 2 AMD 2600 cpus one a single xp the other an overclocked mp and neither were even close to 3.06 Xeon speed. When someone can post the kNs on the fritz server where i can_see_it then I will switch. But AMD does not have a factory chip at this time which can make the claim. And that is the truth.
