Yes... it's actually 1.5 Ghz I think. They just call it 1900 because they claim it's equivalent to a 1.9 Ghz Intel. AMD has it's advantages but currently run to hot for me. (I prefer not to have a jet engine two feet away) Amd is behind a little as the XP1900 is the fastest they have. Last I heard Intel hit 2.0 but I'm sure they have a cpu out over that now... of course, with Intel you have to pay for that research with the pricey tag associated with Intel. I think the 2.0 is $585 at least. For anything you need as of now 1.5 is plenty whether it be AMD or Intel. (and relatively inexpensive too, as compared to a processor a few tenths of a gigahertz more)
