    Yes 6GHZ Intel Pentium D CPU for £299


    They have no clue how CPU speeds are measured, they think as its a dual core you just multiply the speed of each core and thats the total CPU speed, nope!

    If anything a SMP emabled CPU of 3ghz could be compaired to a single core CPU of 4ghz at best, but the clock speed is still 3ghz of each core and all they do with SMP emabled apps is to chache and split the processes up to speed them up.

    6Ghz?Very good lie.This reminds me of one of my client who want me to build him a comp with 9.6Ghz processor.He meant quad core 2.4 Ghz.Ha ha ha.And he want this cos someone told him that in quad you multiply the speed with the cores.What a looser!!
