KeithDust2000, on PC Magazine -

What can you tell me about PCmag? Is this a well-known, respected publication in the US, etc.?

Was that tongue-in-cheek?

PC Magazine is one of the oldest and most widely read computer magazines in the US. It has a large following among casual computer users. Launched around 1982 with the introduction of the IBM PC, it sets the standard for desktop computer trend reporting.

They have been criticized for having a bias - first for IBM and then for Intel and Microsoft - but that never hurts their acceptance among corporate America! If they like the Opteron then it will be used as justification to get Opteron servers into IS evaluation labs.
