I was referring to the fact that amd won't be making desktop processors in 2 years time.

I'd suggest paypal, but they tend to get robbed fairly regularly...
Did the 'computer failure' kill the hard disk?
Was there something wrong with his copy of real life?
Or is it, as I personally have long suspected, that real life is in fact different to Quake?
Hmmm... That would certainly explain my inability to get a working BFG-9000 from ebay...
Comdex is some time away...?
How come the card's been "Officially launched" if it's not been unveiled yet?
