Hey everyone. I was just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing I have over the past month or two. I work at a Best Buy store and have noticed that we are carrying more and more computers with AMD processors. I would say probably 50-60% of the models we currently carry are using AMD chips. The laptops have seen the biggest change. We now carry several models with both athlon4 and duron processors. Just a month ago, we had none. And one other observation. We only carry 2 computers with the P4. One from HP and one from sony. I know not everyone buys computers from stores like best buy, but we sell a ton of computers to the average joe, and if this keeps up, I would guess AMDs market share is gonna keep growing and growing. And as for the customer trusting intel's name, I very rarely have a customer who demands intel. If we have similar computers and one has intel and one AMD at the same speeds, people almost always choose the AMD system to save the $75 or so that is usually the price difference. But these are just my observations. Maybe others have seen different.
