AMD Spider

Agena is interesting...as is this article.

It whets the appetite for speculation however, no real world performance can be gleaned from it, so it is little more than eye candy.

This seems like... deja vu.

nVidia has nothing to worry about. If it wasn't for nVidia's chipset the Skt 939 would not have been as popular or as widely accepted as it was. The only reason you buy a mobo with an AMD chipset is because you want to run Crossfire. As far as I can tell, nVidia still makes the better chipset with more features for the AMD platform. At least it seems as though AMD has learned something from the ATI buy-out.

PS and off topic - Anyone who believes the "Vista Experience" rating system to be valid measure of a system's capabilities deserves to be stripped of their hardware, never be allowed to build their own machines ever, and be forced to by nothing but Dells for the rest of their lives.[/rant]

Dude!...You've got a dud!....errr...Dell.

The Inquirer is full of it yet again. First of all, why would AMD release this "spider" exclusively to the non-reputable Inquirer? They show nothing in any of their pics that even hint at identifying the hardware that they claim it is. The article goes into much more detail about the dumb sapphire motherboard, and avoids the processor and video cards completely.

I get sick of the Inquirer trying to get attention. They do it so poorly.

how true!


looks pretty basic for a "show system"?

They are ... you just don't read the right articles.

They don't have a FAB, they can't produce enough and have upset their partners ... and the high volume end of the market is small.

The middle and bottom end they are now getting creamed.

The new 55nm ATI cards shortly due out will take the perfomance crown from them.

How's their partnetship going with Intel ... you connect the dots.

Im goin to have to go with Heyyou on this one regardless of what the fud says. I trust numbers. nVidia is not worried!

AMD - http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock_quote?Symbol=AMD - 14.02

nVidia - http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock_quote?Symbol=NVDA - 36.91

Just my two cents!

Best,

Nvidia may not be....but the stockholders seem to.
