I for one will welcome a bit of slowing. Having a far less useful videocard(8800gts-640) 6 months later is not exactly pleasing. A slowdown would be nice. CPU's and motherboards could also use a slowdown too. As a consumer, I see this as a good thing.

Amd/ Ati products were too ambitious. All should have been released on 55nm, and progressed to 45nm, not released on 65nm. (r600>rv670, and phenom). They will hold out until r700 hits with x2 basically (both graphically and cpu wise) and as 55nm kicks in intel will have a run for their money, as 45nm isn't cutting it with tdp too well, even though it can clock for england!

Not to mention Im shopping for the cheap IBM G5-s cause person with knowledge says cheapass PC mobo-s with DC DC converters are disaster, and Vista Sp1 fixes nothin

you know as well i as i do what this means for us all... back to the dark ages where chipset technology progresses at a rate akin to a snail taking a big fat constipated hardened dump on a garden gnome

Sayonara AMD it was nice while it lasted.
