1. Comment - Intel Blasts AMD in Lawsuit Filing

   (Sep 3, 2005 - 2:53 PM)

   I see HP mentioned below a good bit. They sell AMD & Intel products. There are literally gobs of firms that sell AMD processor boxes. I just bought a new HP intel box because the AMD processors at HP are set in an ATI 200 chipset which all the reviews say is a dog. The Intel onboard video is simply better. Are we to assume that Intel forced HP to offer AMD processors in a dog of a chipset board too ruin AMD's reputation and force them to lose market share? The idea that AMD boxes aren't available is nonsense. Typically, the AMD fan is a BYO dude that overclocks both processor and video card. The mainline VAR builders do not furnish "open" motherboards for overclocking, typically. Further, the business market is an Intel market save for graphics, CAD and video editing where the Opteron processors compete with the Xeon and Macs. AMD has gotten their higher end Sempron processors too expensive as lower priced Athlon 64s offer more performance for about the same price. Their upper end x2 processors were recently priced too high for anyone other than gamers. The 3800 x2 is still not inexpensive. Some of you are that complain about your intel boxes versus your AMD box, why don't just throw the intel boxes in the trash? I still use a Pent II 400 MHz running SuSE 8 for email and websurf. It has run since that distro came out without a glitch. I have a friend that used older AMD box for years for compiling and coding. You folk are mostly shadow boxers. Get a life. Like you all own significant shares of AMD or Intel. Get real!
