I find it quite surprising that they have chosen to use p4's with their systems when the athlon family has consistently proven to be a much better chip for pt performance. Odd.

Good question I am going to be bulding a new machine soon and decided on using an AMD but would also love to know why Carillion, Sweetwater and now Terra all use the P4's instead of the AMD's.

Actually after looking closer the M6 system is for a HD setup the M4 system for LE is an AMD based system

Way cheaper and far more powerful. Allen Hallada has proven this over and over. One would think a company like that would give Allen a call and say 'lets do something'. But then again, by the time you add the 'company' part, the product will end up being way more expensive.
