so many people seem to have forgotten this.
Hear Hear!! I agree completely. I started with the K6-2 300s, and rowed my way through just about every CPU since (both AMD and Intel, as well as Cyrix).

There seems to be an EXPECTATION that everything will overclock to 8Ghz, and otherwise, it is a failure. A total lack of reality and maturity in this point of view. Ridiculous... Some of these "expert" review sites are simply filled with ignoramuses. It just goes to show how ANYONE can get a domain, and put up a site, and start writing opinion.... its just horrific how many people believe this balderdash as fact.
