Ban Ban MindBlo - Re: "Sounds like a good StormTrooper response. I just happen to admire a scrappy company that has grown in the last 30 years, but most importantly has provided the world with better consumer pricing. Without AMD you'd be paying 3 times the cost of todays prices. Maybe more at that."

Uh...Intel has grown a HELLUVA LOT MORE than AMD in 30 years - why do you love the loser company so much ?

And as for cheap CPUs - you ought to tell your buddy "Fatwah Sanders the turd" to give his processors away for FREE - and become a martyr !

Milo, <I just happen to admire a scrappy company that has grown in the last 30 years, but most importantly has provided the world with better consumer pricing.>

Don't forget that the stock of said scrappy company hasn't gone anywhere for the last 30 years.

<I can still remember buying my Apple ][ for just under 3 grand and all it has was 64k of RAM and no hard drive.>

Good point. Without AMD, we'd be buying $9,000 PCs that don't perform any better than your old Apple ][.

Where would the world be without Jerry "Where's Mine" Sanders?

Milo,

One must be thankful of the competition that exists in the IBM PC compatible computers; not in AMD. Competition amongst computer vendors caused the weak to go out of business and the stronger ones to continually lower their prices due to manufacturing efficiencies and economies of scale.
