Paul Re..<<<How about AMD Dirty Tricks Such as showing up in Palm Springs during Intel's Developer Conference, holing up at a cheap hotel, and trying to UPSTAGE Intel with a goofy ThumperTurd CPU - that ended being 400 MHz SLOWER than Intel's Willamette - demoed to an audience of 3500 at the IDF ? Now that is a PRIMO example of an AMD Dirty trick - that happened to BACKFIRE on Sanders - whose worst investment in his life is AMD - as per W.J. Sanders III !!! Paul >>>>>>>>> Paul, that may be true but Intel only had to put up with that dirty trick one day. We have to put up with Intels dirty trick every day.

Sorry Paul, I don't see AMD showing up down the street from Intel as a dirty trick....maybe having big cajones...but not a dirty trick. A dirty trick is when you announce with great fanfare an increase in MHz speed ahead of your competitor but you can't find any of the new chips in the channels for months. ted
