Yeah..but ? by cOdEgUru · 2002-06-10 00:35 · Score: 4, Funny

This is a winning war for both Intel and AMD. The only ones who lose are us, standing in line forking over 180 bucks for the XP 2000+ and still ready to roll out whatsoever needed to get the new Thoroughbred because it can squeeze out couple of more 3DMark points.

I would have posted more, but I need to run to the local computer shop to check whether they have arrived yet. :)
