Can someone please explain to me why these people exist?
What motivates a person to vehemently defend a particular brand of component :?:
I, of course, have my hardware presences now. But, in two years, they may very well change. It depends on what I perceive to be the best value, performance, upgradeability, etc.
If someone asked me today, “AMD or P4?”
I’d, probably say, “AMD.”
But, if I were tending a bar, and someone said, “What should I drink?”
I would say, “What do you like?”
The choices are abundant, and mostly equal at achieving the same goal. It comes down to a matter of preference.
I wouldn’t say, “Budweiser beer. It has a 6% higher alcohol to price ratio than half of the leading competition in 45% of lab tests. Budweiser is the only way to go. You, sir, need a Bud.”
Perhaps this is a bad example, but I just don’t understand why people insist on touting their preference as the end all be all of solutions. Why is there an emotional attachment to a GPU manufacturer?
If you are so sure about your brand, GO BUY THEIR STOCK :!:
Then again, this is all coming from a guy who doesn’t have a favorite sports team.
