WBMW, In claiming that Intel does a better job of "advocat[ing] the reliability of their products" you said about AMD: "and they can start by making sure that reviewers don't get their hands on unstable motherboards."... Correct me if I'm wrong didn't Intel let Tom's Hardware Guide (the exact same site by the way) get ahold of one of the buggy 1.13GHz PIII's? And wasn't there some commotion about them denying there was a problem and refusing to confront Tom's problems? Is that so much better of a job of advocating reliability? You also said: "But you can either admit that AMD has a problem, or go on believing that everything is peachy for them, like so many others try to do - it's your choice, and your investment."... Hmm I don't think I ever said that everything was peachy, in fact I think I admitted in my last post that AMD has a reputation problem in some quarters. and I specifically said that I did not think that AMD was perfect. What I did say is that your allegation that AMD is somehow at fault for not effectively "advocating the reliability" of their platform by ruling the reviewers with an iron hand or by not sitting over the reviewers shoulder and preventing a minor (and vaguely defined) problem to be mentioned is hypocritical and unfair. THG is an independent reviewer, or should be. But all this aside my main point is you are making WAY to much out of this, you are literally starting to sound like chicken little. I do respect your input and I agree that my investment needs to be carefully weighed and considered but at the same time I am not going to go storming to make a sell order like some lemming off a cliff because THG had some minor, vaguely defined, problems. And your suggestion that I should immediately reevaluate my established investment position in a company trading at or near book value because of THG's claims is a little too much fearmongering for me.
