Hmmm. Ineteresting that no one mentioned the Intel ID fiasco. When P3 started comming out with serial numbers on the chips which allow internet connected computers to be tracked (Later Mobos had feature set which allowed this to be turned off). This swayed me from future intel purchases. My first AMD was the K6-2 and back then the bang for buck was high. Also, people should realise that in developing countries people dont care about brand, cost goes a long way and AMD will win out on this share of the market.
