Y then and not now? Bcuz this time it was, quite specifically, a mid-range shootout.
But I don't understand why the 3200+ wasn't reviewed. Don't think the price diff is much.

But then if the 3200+ were reviewed, then why not the 3400+ as well?
But anyway, except in the CINEBENCH test, the 3000+ beat the P4 in
all the other tests! And the AMD sys'es won
both the Gold and Silver Best Buy tags! So there ain't no room for a conspiracy theory. At least I don't see any.
