As long as you happen to have an AM 2+ motherboard, but that's ok because like 100% of everyone on planet earth should already have one?
Haven't Intel been better (or both has been equally bad) at using the same socket for lots of CPUs than AMD? It just happen that they had to switch this time.
I have no AM 2+ motherboard, I don't even have AM2 or 939, I have one 754 and a Macbook Pro.
And now some people will inform you how Intel and AMD measures their peak watts differently and how AMD chipsets (atleast pre i7) have consumed less energy (I have no idea how much of that is true.)
Uhm, except the GX-ones was even cheaper than X-ones. I doubt you pay a fortune for the integrated graphics..
Regarding make use of the GPU OS X is pretty good at that so Apple makes sure to go back to integrated graphics and low VRAM just in case something better would actually be useful.. But of course on a mac you can't fix that, with a 790GX atleast you can get a decent graphics card later on.
As long as you ignore that they have no processor which get even close to the Intel offering or decide to compare the AMD chip to the price of a Intel chip with the same performance...
When you look at overall performance including memory access and peripheral/bus access - the Phenoms were ahead of the old Intel quads (which were just hacked-together dual core CPUs).
So what when they still owned AMD cpus in any application/game benchmark (sure you may find a single one for some database server or whatever where AMD took the lead but there will be few scenarios. Fact is Intel perform better stock, waste less energy and overclock better.)
I was.
Why? Compare stock 9950 vs Q6600 or overclocked 9950 vs Q6600.
Intel works harder, AMD works smarter
Or maybe take a look at the PPC970?
Smarter indeed but who gives a fuck when it can't deliver?:D
All this talk about stable beta's seems a bit pointless. If you change the name and theme on the product, you can't real muck it up too bad. What's the point of this other than to try to put the name "Vista" in the grave?
To release the final Windows Vista as it was supposed to be?
I can see how the price modell works ok in Asia but what about Africa? Something needs to be fixed with it. Maybe they could charge by stomach volume covering said erection?
Though, most Windows users would say that macs suck and is expensive and you can't play games on them so what the fuck would they want to have a mac for?
So well, I don't know if there are less Windows fanboys, or that the Apple user experience is superior. Depends on who you are I guess.
If you are stupid enough to Windows-only device (may it be modem, printer or scanner) instead of one offering standards support it's your own fault and problem. I know cheap modems are shit, I know there are plenty of GID(?) printers and so on, but get a printer and scanner which uses PCL and Twain and it should work, or? Obviously things which don't work without generic drivers won't work in an OS with no specific drivers. It's just the same with many sound cards and probably other expansion cards for Macs and also for graphic cards. I'd assume more of both would work on Linux machines..
If you run Linux make sure you buy hardware which WORKS, how hard can it be?
Back in the days when I had a DVD-player and they was pretty common some stupid friend bought, not one, but TWO VHS machines, so he could copy movies..
The not so brilliant part of the idea was getting two of the same (the cheapest one) so the remote fiddled around with both of them:D
Now he rent DVDs by mail and copy all movies that way instead of downloading them.
Cool, obviously Google WAS watching me. First hit:

Looks like AMD is back.

Yeah go smoke that Q9550 ..
Or eventually even the Q6600..
Even before these came out AMD offered the best value in the good enough category.
No. In the budget category? Yes.
Some people may consider the budget category good enough but in the "best bang for the buck" category Intel leads somewhat.
Ok, I guess my problem is that all pages using javascript is shitty then.
Then you should upgrade it all anyway :D
Javascript = bad
Letting me load screenshots in multiple tabs = good

Yeah, and how much ram can you get for $60 anyway? ..
Real tech students use LaTeX your insensitive clod!

It's a small price to pay ...
Though step 1:
Getting to know it's fixable if you solve the screen issue is the hardest most unlikely part.

Especially when it was a LED 17" MBP which must have been out less than a year.
Don't blame Apple because you haven't upgraded to the latest Macbook Pro modell yet!

I traded bluescreens in an old version of Windows (95/98 vs XP) against more or less daily application crashes from Safari, X-lite, Mail, ...

Or well, stupid question since you ARE Google, obviously the first one / I feel lucky.
