Well at least they don't sell it as a fully operational A64 at the full price - and then add a small text on their website that cache size might vary +/- 50%

(I seem to remember having heard somewhere of a certain company doing exactly this...)

SERIOUSLY? Who did that? InteL?

And Intel does/did the same with their Celeron - and ATi does/did the same with the Radeon9500 and 9800SE products. And NVidia does a similar thing with their "XT" cards.

And Matrox does... - no wait, they're selling the defective chips just lower clocked at the same price as the full clocked retail .

They arn't selling defective chips, they're just "differently enabled."

Right, I know THAT practice, but who quotes that the cache may vary 50%?

Are you saying that she's not FAT, but "Gravitationally Challenged?"

At least my Parhelia matched what it was supposed to be...

Dude, he didn't literally mean that someone was marking +/-50% cache, he meant that someone was doing +/-% markings on their website, as in Matrox.

Hehe, I hope DanW@Matrox.com reads this - he might actually hire you three as new employees for the marketing department...
