True, I didn't check Intel's nomenclature to find the preferred abbreviation, but that was not the gist of my post. I was addressing the use of P1V rather than P-IV or P4 or any other permutation of that name. My point was that ~either~ all Roman ~or~ all Arabic numeral should be used exclusively of the other. I suspected that the correspondent who asked what a P1V was might have known it was a Pentium 4 processsor if its name was not confused by mixed numeral styles. As I wrote, it was a purely pedantic observation, and rather frivolous as well.
