Stan,
Thank you. A terse response at best. If you choose to go back channel, I
think you will find my addy in the header. I answer it privately.
I do not mean to start a fight. I mentioned that you seem to be an
AMD-focused person. FINE.
We all have 2 (or more) choices available.
I do what the collective seems to "feel" is a best choice. Pardon me for
choosing incorrectly..
Run whatcha brung! Whatever.
Best,
Duncan

I think I understand why you took this particular time to mention these
things Duncan. I have no idea why my email is arriving with the [Bulk]
whatever and have no idea why you would find that irritating nor why you
think I'm being clandestine considering my name is Stan Zaske and it's not
an alias. In stead of being passive/aggressive why don't you tell me what
you are really feeling and we can discuss it like gentlemen on the back
channel. Perhaps you think I was being unfair by criticizing Intel for
it's illegal activities hence the fanboy accusation. Perhaps you think I
was being unfair in what maccrowj said. I thought I was being factual
without any personal attack upon anybody. :-)

with you but 3 countries

have independently concluded that Intel bribed manufacturers to freeze
out AMD in their distribution networks with so-called rebates and to
delay the release of AMD based products. AMD didn't make crappy PC's
with their products.
[just your opinion. Info here in the SE is that most of the returns are
AMD.]
They made some missteps along the way (Phenom I) as Intel did
(Netburst) but AMD didn't attempt to bribe manufacturers to give
preference to their products. Intel did and next March we're going to
see Intel get spanked again in US court this time. The Ati division of
AMD makes excellent GPU's and I predict that nVidia is going to have a
rude awakening in the 4th quarter when DX11 high performance cards come out.
[Clearly your opinion! My last 6 months with ATI video cards leaves me
to beg the HWG for suggestions to go back to nVidia. Yes, ATI may
eventually catch up. Right now, today, I am still watching; and
converting back to nVidia as fast as I can($)]
Larrabee is going to get spanked by both camps when Intel realizes that
using x86 to make a video card is another netburst dead end. ;-)
I do accept that UR an AMD fan-boy. Very strong. Fine. Suspected this 5
yrs ago. Now confirmed.
OK. Perhaps I might be wimpy. Acceptable. I started way back when with
Intel (IP266). Now, I am coming back to Intel just because it seems to me
[?] that planet Earth is also moving Intel. You have every right to just
label me a whore..........on the other side.......... :)
No problemo!
Best,
Duncan

I say "look at all the crappy PC's that could have been made with AMD
chips these past 5 years (and some have been)! It's not been good for
AMD these past ~5 years and it has a more to do with AMD than Intel,
just look at them fraking up ATI.

Yeah, Intel has been in the news a lot lately and their poor decisions
are costing them dearly. Japan, Korea and now the EU have concluded
that they are anti-competitive. Next year I believe AMD will get their
shot in court and I predict that Intel will again be held accountable.
Imagine all the money that AMD lost over the past 5 years because of
Intel's bribes to PC makers. Beginning to look like the GM of the
semiconductor world minus the threat of bankruptcy of course.
