Re:Down with Intel (Score 3, Interesting)

I work for a medium sized OEM in the southeast USA... Intel pushes us hard to keep AMD off the shelf, but we still sell quite a few (20%+) AMD systems, because those that use them know that they are typically superior products. AMD offers little in the marketing arena, as opposed to Intel's mammoth marketing fund, but still the AMD line grows daily. I don't think that the "down with Intel!!!" crowd has it right, but I won't run Intel gear on my systems either...there has to be balance between innovation and speed, speed and reliability, reliability and cost. Intel needs to rethink it's 80's era IBMesque strategy.
