All Intel has to do is put together a decent chipset, like the old P3 440BX boards and with their close ties with Microsoft, AMD will be pushed out to the fringes if it survives at all. 
I still like and use AMD products, but that's just my speculation of the situation.

Personally, I dont give a damn weather it says 'Intel' or 'AMD' on the box...
If it works, then I'm happy.

Oh really people this is getting ridiculous! I say let's all go back to counting on an abacus and using different coloured spray paints to "skin" the beads. People might even get some work done. >

'Chroming' is the issue with an age limit for spray paint.....anyone trying such stupidity would be better served sharing heroin needles....less dangerous...
