That's a silly argument, because it simply relies on the fact that most uses of computers aren't CPU-bound at all. In the same way I could probably steal half the RAM from your system and clock the CPU down 50% (the BOFH's favourite revenue-generating technique!) and from 'the interactive performance of common applications' you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I don't think that _means_ very much, though. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
