Tell that to main sales, like Dell. They aren't stupid like the chip-on
they shoulder teenagers. The same teenagers that hate, IE and go for
Firefox, who hate XP and install Linux every 5 min, and.... ala... buy AMD
in hating Intel.
If you want quality buy the leader, Intel. AMD are a bit of the K-Mart
brand, but they are maturing.
Bwahahahah! You really have lost the plot!
Dell get their CPUs cheap off Intel because they have an exclusive use
agreement. It's nothing to do with how good the CPU is. If you want to
see a particularly poor CPU, then check out the Celeron (which Dell
happen to use). Who makes that? Oh yeah, your baby, Intel!
If AMD is only used by stupid teenagers with chips on their shoulders,
would you care to explain why HP sell their SR1010Z series desktops with
Semprons and Athlon 64s? Also, they do the Proliant DL server that uses
the AMD Opteron. Those are servers that are used by large companies and
government departments. I should know, we use a lot of them in our
company and it's not composed of teenagers! They are rock solid stable
with a much better performance/price ratio than we would ever have got
with an Intel solution!
Oh yeah, and our servers are running linux that doesn't get installed
every five minutes! Another urban myth that you seem to believe, but no
doubt have no experience of. In fact, linux is *sooooo* much more
stable than your beloved XP that it's not even funny. And as for IE....
what a security nightmare! In fact, we don't use it on our work
machines for the simple reason that it is just too dangerous from a
security point of view (yes, we keep all the patches up-to-date, but M$
take to long to supply them). As I said in a different message, get
your head out of the sand before you suffocate!
