Of course, because they spend the time to find the units that
are actually undamaged, and then testing how far/well they
run.  But the likelihood of getting all of them is very
remote -- there are typically 1+ damaged units, and 1+ units
that are "less than stable."

Well, power (as in amps) is always a consideration too.
Sometimes they can suck up the juice.

I haven't seen many benchmarks on the 6800LE.
How much slower is its clock?  If at all?

I remember that was the kicker with the 5700LE, it was
_massively_slower_ and wasn't even 2/3rd the speed of the
original 5700.  Benchmarks of the 5700LE were hard to come
by.
