Last ditch effort. Unfortunately, I checked thesaurus.com and the word did not appear to have any synonyms. ;) JC, It could be the beginning of a new word in the English language. ;~)) ted

JC, There always is considerable discussion wrt whether a particular tech writer is biased towards Intel or AMD. In the past AMD's poor performance colored people's perceptions re the company. And I am sure that that is still true to some degree. But now it must be said that AMD looks to be in a turnaround that has some legs. So given this change what drives current biases for or against AMD and Intel? Is it simply that Intel is chimpzilla and AMD is the poor second? Does if it have to do with the quality of the product? The two AMD threads rave about the Athlon but is it really as good as we say? <g> Is it simply rooting for the underdog? Inquiring minds need to know!! I am assuming, of course, that someone in your position has an overview and a feel for the pulse that the rest of us mortals do not. <g> Set me straight if I am wrong. All of this may not be figuroutable but I want to try!! And btw the classic AMD thread is a very good thread!! LOL ted
