I do believe you meant "maximum speed"...
Actually no. A "maximum speed" garantee wouldn't be much of a garantee now would it ;)
Um, why not? It's the fastest they guarantee the chip will run at, hence, maximum speed. They do not guarantee it will run any faster. It may run faster, but no guarantee. Need I post a definition from the dictionary?
Perhaps the reason this discussion has gone on so long is because we are speaking different languages. I'm speaking English, how about you?
This might be a language problems yes, becuse English is only my third language. However all other languages I know as well as mathematics define Maximum Garanteed as X <= Y Minimum Garanteed as X >= Y
Thus a Garantee that your brand new XP 2800+ might actually only run as fast as a XP 2000+ ( 2000 <= 2800) would be a very poor garantee indeed. If you buy a XP 2800+ the logical thing to expect would be that it's garanteed to run at XP 2800+ speed (2800 >= 2800).
If this is not how it's expressed in english I apreciate the correction :) I'll just add it to the list of illogical things US(?) people do, like the weird dateformat and celebrating the turn of the new milennium 1999->2000 when it didn't start untill 2001 :D
