Have been rooting for AMD since the K7/Athalon was in design. Intel's recent problems and refusal of supporting PC133 and DDRSDRAM to push (or should I say ram) RAMBUS on everyone.. No need to rant, but AMD has come a long way. My next personal system will be a dual AMD. The capability is due later this year. With their greatly improved production capacity Intel best look out, since they will then be able to start in on the mid-range server market. They only question then is SMP support for AMD system. >Sorry about the OT, but these ads have bugged me for years. :) Intel's policies have PO'd me for ages now, so pardon my OT rant.
