If AMD had their hand in the pocket of every major computer maker/vendor, they would be able to buy customers too :) Most people aren't really choosing Intel, that's just what they happen to get when they go to Best Buy. I would bet that most people who build their own computer buy AMD. >It is extremely funny how AMD has to sell these processors at throw away prices >to attract customers; funny only for intel though as they are confident tht >customers will pay top dollar for intel products which are actually cheaper to >manufacture than AMD processors; Maybe Intel has to raise their prices to make up for the money they're paying computer makers/vendors to sell mainly Intel? >but its not fumnny for AMD and not for >customers either as these are only virtual prices as AMD is unble to ramp up >clock speeds; (the best AMD can do is 2.167mhz; the AMD 2800+(non-barton which >is actuallu the fastest AMD processor for chess can't be had for love or for >money! I guess you like your MHz to run at 70% the speed of AMD's MHz? I guess you also have no understanding of what clock speed is. Faster clock speed doesn't mean faster computer. Take the P4 for example. That thing sucks compared to low end Athlons. Have you ever tested Bartons vs. non-Bartons?. I have, and slower Barton's beat faster non-Bartons every time I have tested them. For instance, the 1.83GHz Barton beats my 2GHz non-Barton. Sounds like you're nothing but an Intel glutton who is insecure because he paid too much for his CPU, and it's actually slower than the Athlon your friend has, so you feel the need to come on here and bash AMD at every opportunity. >meanwhile intel is going from strength to strength! From the Pentium 3 to the Centrino?
