DumDum, RE:"But lo-and-behold, before I hit the floor, the rapid fire announcer started yakking about the AThWiper eXPloder being sold as a COMPONENT - along with some dumb muthaboard at Fry's !1 Can you believe it !!! Even AMD is acknowledging that they have ZERO OEM PC business - and they have to hype up thier crapola AThWiper eXPloder to the cheapo DIY geek crowd !!!" Just starting to see some XP units in stores. All I can say is it will take a miracle for AMD to hold share this Q. A miracle.

Paul, Re: I heard a pathetic radio ad tonight for AMD - on KCBS radio. They did a rapid-speed description of their incomprehensible quantisleaze rating system - then they shot off into the availability of AThWiper eXPloders at Fry's electronics !! I've heard that ad also. The rapid fire speech, staccato you could call it, was like one of those ads where they end up giving the phone number four times or so and you can't get your finger to the change button fast enough. Very unprofessional. I guess AMD figures that any ad is better than none. Tony
