Let's review, shall we? Intel P3 processors are universally more expensive than equivalent speed Athlon processors. The same goes for Celeron versus Duron. Intel recalled nearly a million of its 820 MTH motherboards only months after customers had been using these buggers. Intel recalled its 1.13 GHz processor because Intel's spectacular internal testing apparently didn't notice that compiling code could crash the system. This makes the whole "Intel superior stability" argument very weak. I don't need to remind you that AMD has held or tied for the speed crown for over a year now.

So, your argument is Intel, with a more expensive, not reliable, and not as fast, processor is better than AMD? How quaint.

Craig,

He said he had a problem with *one* aspect of *one* game

Is this the new line Intel is going to be using? Paul said that 1.13 GHz chip worked with most of the software. Now you say that it is acceptable that one reviewer found one problem in the Intel integrated video.

Well, suppose 10 reviewers each found one (different) problem. Is that still good enough?
