    Regarding crap loads of cash, see:

    http://www.sacpcug.org/archives/9904/kk0499.html
    How much cash did Intel spread out to promote this claim I wonder.
    On the positive side, Intel claims PSN technology will help keep stolen credit cards from being used on-line, aid in discouraging CPU counterfeiters, and enhance some computer services.

    The inverse is a conclusion intended I believe to promote the idea that AMD non PSN chips will some how facilitate stolen credit cards being used on-line, aid in encouraging CPU counterfeiters, and de-enhance some computer services.

    I believe AMD had to conclude that the message was we have more money to spend on propaganda than you do. Add the PSN and this wont become an issue.

    More cash was certainly offered to AMD by way of the FTC "Deal"

    FTC reaches antitrust deal with Intel

    By Dan Goodin and Sandeep Junnarkar

    March 8, 1999
    C/Net
    Lawyers for Intel and the Federal Trade Commission have reached a tentative agreement to settle the government's antitrust case against the world's largest computer chipmaker.

    The company and the FTC's filed a joint motion to delay start of the antitrust trial so that commissioners can vote on an 11-hour settlement the two parties reached over the weekend. The trial, which was to start tomorrow, is stayed indefinitely while the agency's four active commissioners consider the proposed settlement, which litigators on both sides signed yesterday.

    Details of settlement talks emerging

    By Michael Kanellos and Dan Goodin

    March 8, 1999
    C/Net
    The witnesses in the FTC-Intel case were the last to know about the surprise settlement, details of which began to emerge this afternoon.

    The terms have not yet been made public and lawyers on both sides would not comment on them. But one source familiar with the settlement said that in the general terms of the agreement, Intel will agree not to use access to its chips or product information as a lever to settle intellectual property claims. In other words, companies will be able to pursue legal actions against Intel without necessarily running the risk of finding itself with no chips.

    Intel's on line legal Bio from:
    http://www.x86.org/news/1999/news030899.htm
    It still rolls me back to see Intel's lies about the PSN laid out so clearly yet they are still defended as innocents.

    Now EU Intel offices are raided, AMD is not knee jerk reacting, but closing the book legally with I might add with a perceived a moral superiority over Intel.

    Why would anyone want to support a company that cares more about inserting backdoors and screwing a fair competitor AMD, than producing a high quality finished completed product in my hands without soo much blood being involved?

    To me AMD is synonymous with quality and Intel is deceptive and have a proven track record of not caring what consumers want.
    PSN ring a bell.
    In the face of overwhelming customer complaints, Intel simply deleted tens of thousands of messages of message boards with no more response to the overwhelming backlash.
    Intels response was "Get bent"

    No I will NOT pay blood money to Intel, they sold their souls to the devil long ago

    If you own Intel stock I really believe your morals must put a higher value on money than the evil Intel has proven they are willing to do to get that market share.

    AMD works and works better than Intel and then their is the extra advantage with AMD that they don't have the negative karma associated with Intel.
