I think I understand why you took this particular time to mention these
things Duncan. I have no idea why my email is arriving with the [Bulk]
whatever and have no idea why you would find that irritating nor why you
think I'm being clandestine considering my name is Stan Zaske and it's
not an alias. In stead of being passive/aggressive why don't you tell me
what you are really feeling and we can discuss it like gentlemen on the
back channel. Perhaps you think I was being unfair by criticizing Intel
for it's illegal activities hence the fanboy accusation. Perhaps you
think I was being unfair in what maccrowj said. I thought I was being
factual without any personal attack upon anybody. :-)

have independently concluded that Intel bribed manufacturers to
freeze out AMD in their distribution networks with so-called rebates
and to delay the release of AMD based products. AMD didn't make
crappy PC's with their products.
[just your opinion. Info here in the SE is that most of the returns
are AMD.]
They made some missteps along the way (Phenom I) as Intel did
(Netburst) but AMD didn't attempt to bribe manufacturers to give
preference to their products. Intel did and next March we're going to
see Intel get spanked again in US court this time. The Ati division
of AMD makes excellent GPU's and I predict that nVidia is going to
have a rude awakening in the 4th quarter when DX11 high performance
cards come out.
[Clearly your opinion! My last 6 months with ATI video cards leaves
me to beg the HWG for suggestions to go back to nVidia. Yes, ATI may
eventually catch up. Right now, today, I am still watching; and
converting back to nVidia as fast as I can($)]
Larrabee is going to get spanked by both camps when Intel realizes
that using x86 to make a video card is another netburst dead end. ;-)
I do accept that UR an AMD fan-boy. Very strong. Fine. Suspected this
5 yrs ago. Now confirmed.
OK. Perhaps I might be wimpy. Acceptable. I started way back when
with Intel (IP266). Now, I am coming back to Intel just because it
seems to me [?] that planet Earth is also moving Intel. You have
every right to just label me a whore..........on the other
side.......... :)
No problemo!

I say "look at all the crappy PC's that could have been made with
AMD chips these past 5 years (and some have been)! It's not been
good for AMD these past ~5 years and it has a more to do with AMD
than Intel, just look at them fraking up ATI.

Yeah, Intel has been in the news a lot lately and their poor
decisions are costing them dearly. Japan, Korea and now the EU have
concluded that they are anti-competitive. Next year I believe AMD
will get their shot in court and I predict that Intel will again be
held accountable. Imagine all the money that AMD lost over the past
5 years because of Intel's bribes to PC makers. Beginning to look
like the GM of the semiconductor world minus the threat of
bankruptcy of course.
