I know you guys have answered that question many times. And I honestly searched for an answer before I posted. But with a AthlonXP 3000+ according to information I gathered here runs @ ~2167Mhz.
I have heard two stories and dont know which one is true.
1.) 3000+ is a ploy by AMD to make users think they are getting a 3Ghz processor by giving it the 3000+ Model number (which I dont think they are doing that or atleast i hope not)
2.)It mean it "processes" its instruction set as fast as an Intel P4 3Ghz. Which if this is true.... can someone explain how AMD is capable of doing that? I always thought the faster Mhz you have the faster the machine will process information and spit it back out to the screen or whatever. Or show me a link where I can read it.
Thanks
Dan
