Good point.
That is true, the shopping channels sell PCs with AMD and non-techies shop there. However, these channels also sell cubic-zirconim plated poop. My point in that for most middle of the road buyers, they will lean toward Intel regardless. It is a litmus test by which non-techies judge other's PCs - "What speed 'Pentium' do you have?"
I am all for AMD - great chips - but their stock (pun intended) has been a dog.
