Seems that Intel is UP $58 since then. Re: "AMD 27 3/4 27 13/16 27 7/8 +5/8 28 5/16 26 7/8 3,279,700 " Wasn't AMD at $27 3/4 a year ago - and a year before that - and a year before that - and a year before that ? Paul

Scumbria Re: < If someone had told you 12 months ago that AMD based computers would would make up the lion's share of retail PC sales by Christmas, you would have laughed them off. > In reality, Bill Jackson said <It means nothing to the average smart person if an AMD or Intel CPU is in there at the same speed. Who cares that the AMD is 5% faster,?, a few hackers maybe, but the bulk do not care> To which Paul responded <Last year AMD and Intel had a real life contest. It was determined that the average smart person preferred an Intel CPU to an AMD CPU 80,000,000 to 2,850,000, or 28 to 1.> techstocks.com It would appear that the average smart person no longer prefers an Intel CPU 28 to 1. tgptndr
