| What surprised me most is that this is the first time I've ever seen someone thats worked in the industry at the level Andy did actually explain it all without ass-covering.
I'm really impressed that you can write that. Looking through the history of the Epox forum, its clear to see the evidence behind it as well.
What I would like to know is what can people do to rectify this problem. Everyone on this site knows exactly what a Celeron is, and exactly what Celeron hardware is, and avoids it wherever possible. But aside from not buying white box junk, what is there to do that improves this situation in the long term?
