Did you know this chip DOES NOT RUN AT 1.9Gz!!!!!!! It runs at 16Ghz, I HAVE PROOF! http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Pro ... 8_756_3734^3876,00.html#10228 Cant we get them done or something, i would think it similar to False advertising! Coz the newbie could see the Athlon XP 1900+ and think its a 1.9Ghz Processor! Just a thought i was bored! :grin: all the facts are on the above link!

AMD never claimed them to be Mhz measure of their CPU. Aside from being model numbers, they are comparing their CPU to Intel's. 1600+ runs as fast as a P4 1.6Ghz, 1700+ runs as fast as P4 1.7Ghz, etc etc *** Q: What do the 1900+, 1800+, 1700+, 1600+, and 1500+ numbers mean? A: These are model numbers. AMD identifies the AMD Athlon XP processor using model numbers, as opposed to megahertz, such as 1900+, 1800+, 1700+, 1600+ and 1500+ versions. Model numbers are designed to communicate the relative application performance among the various AMD Athlon XP processors, as well as communicate the architectural superiority over existing AMD Athlon processors. The AMD Athlon XP processor 1900+ will outperform an Intel Pentium

firstly i DID NOT SAY that AMD said that the processor WAS 1.9, i said a few people thought that it was a 1.9 GHz, i was just clearing things up for people!! This is a forum after all!! And secondly, i did mean 1.6 not 16, sorry for my typo.
