I don't...AMD has been making good chips lately, and some are better than Intel's. In fact, the first few P4 tests I've seen showed that the AMD high end chip (basically their PIII) is still more powerful...and for considerably less (which is one reason I'm sure Intel cut the price on the P4...market share being another...funny how companies think price will drive market share). Anyway, I'm a firm believer in getting value for your dollar (though how that equates to me being in CPQ at this point is a debatable point!LOL). Intel is good, but it's still like buying Jordache jeans when I'm quite happy with Lee or Levi's. Interestingly, I don't mind buying Levi's at an outlet store selling irregulars......but I have a complete aversion to purchasing a refurbished PC. Sort've like why I won't buy a used car - you're buying someone else's problem.
