I have not owned an Intel CPU since my 300A celeron running at 450mhz.
Am I an AMD fanboy? Yes, I am.
I don't care if you can buy a faster CPU from somewhere else.
I simply excerise my right to spend my money however I wish, and that is NOT spend my money with Intel. Call it brand loyalty, call it an idiot's choice, call it whatever you want. Until AMD goes belly up and their products are wiped from the face the earth, and Intel is the only choice left, I will always buy from AMD. There are plenty of people who always buy Intel, so I'll do my teeny, tiny insignificant part to keep the competition healthy.
I hope Intel and AMD stay in business and keep releasing decent products for a fair value for years to come. Long live competition, we all win in the end.
