Intel's Prescott will usher in the Antichrist!

[tuesday630]

The Prescott will have a Front Side Bus of... dunn, dunn, dunn, dunn.... 666. As prophecy foretold, anyone who takes this mark will align with the Antichrist and suffer an ignominious demise.

...Just thought I'd give you a peak at AMD's next marketing campaign.

there were also rumors of it not running pirated programs or media...and a huge debate about the morality of pirating things ensued

Unfortunatly that changed to 800MHZ anyways.
It was also 667MHZ, Intel knew that 666MHZ would've caused havoc around.

But good one lol, yeah I can see AMD's very first commercial in 3 years being that...!

Yeah, since it's 666.66666- MHz anyway, everything i've ever seen that was 666.66666-- MHz was rounded to 667 not 666, so people don't freak out if they're really religious...

Ah, but if the (non-QDR) starting FSB was <i>slightly</i> off spec, and was ~166.5Mhz, then the QDR bus would be <i>exactly</i> 666Mhz. This is quite within the realms of possibility .

But it will run pirated programs because Prescott with 666FSB is everything evil! They are concealing the 666 FSB mark with things such as stopping piracy and such but in fact it's just a mask to appear good but it is really evil! hehe?
