wwmd - AMD -

I have this issue on my watch list, but I won't touch it until it gets back to the 15s or below. They have a good product, that they can't seem to make money on. They are a perfect example of a badly run company. Of course you wouldn't expect much from Intel's competitor, but you would expect them to have a well-run company to milk every possible penny out of their small sales. AMD can't cut it.

When the K7 comes out, they'll get a slight boost, but I wouldn't expect much. The K6-3 seems to be a disappointment according to reviews (I didn't get to finish Tom's). The only thing hurting Intel is the *idiotic* serial numbers on the PIIIs (which someone already figured out how to turn on over the net). For that reason alone, I know many that would buy AMD over Intel (myself included).

However, I would take a Celeron 300a (oc'ed to 450) over anything out there. Cheap and fast. Perfect.

In other words, I'd avoid them like the plague for now. But that's just MHO...

llater,
Tony B
