>>Brand makes him feel comfortable, Intel makes him feel comfortable. My not-supported-by-market-research feeling about that is that the first statement is true, the second statement less so. I think the important brand for the consumers is the PC brand, not the processor. The processor brand was more important when the computer world was more processor centric. When what you do with a computer is mostly limited to the confines of your living room or office, you play games and do some office-type applications. For those you care about processor power. When you use the computer for connecting with others, such as to communicate via email or shop on the web, you don't use the processor power nearly as much. So the processor is not center stage, though it's hardly relegated to the dressing rooms.
