I happen to agree with you, but it's amazing how different opinions can be. I firmly believe that if you looked at the big picture, at all the Intel systems and all the AMD systems, you'd probably conclude that it doesn't really matter. But when I'm looking at a system, for some reason I choose AMD. It just seems to suit me better.

That's just the way I see it, I guess. This seems to happen quite often with computer hardware. Every time someone asks for a recommendation on which hard drive to get, we get one person saying they've had 8 Western Digital drives go bad on them, then another who swears by them after going 10 years without a faulty drive.
