Fred,

There isn't much that I can say in response to a post which agrees with mine, that isn't just overkill.

I think (to agree with you) that AMD should have been a little less agresive and a little less public with their 25% less pricing policy. The minute people hear something like that they inherently (and usually incorrectly) draw the conclusion that the cheaper part is somehow less 'capable' than the more expensive part.

For the majority of applications in existance today, AMD's part are as capable with Intel's parts. Each have their strong points and weak points, but comming out and saying "25% less", makes people think inferior..

This is just another example of why I strongly dislike AMD's management. If AMD had been smart they would have priced at %5 off Intel and done so privately... If they had done that they might be making money now, as opposed to losing it hand over fist.

REgards,

Steve

PS. I hate Intel.. but at least they can show a profit.
