It goes both ways. I've seen AMDers get attacked.
I agree a majority of "fanboys" lean toward AMD here, but there is a large group that go "bang for the buck" or "pure power" or (insert marketing hype here or rational thought); whatever floats your boat.
It is a matter of tolerance and open-mindedness.
The AMD vs Intel vs Nvdia vs ATI is old and played out. The arguments get us virtually no where. Unless the options are:
1. Kick the cat
2. Beat the old lady
3. Rant about how great brand X is
I harp on it only to make the forumz a better, more constructive place.
There are some knowledgeable, helpful people here; sometimes I wonder why they bother to sort through all up the crap just to help out a n00b.
It's not personal.
