Point truly missed. Both use a...

How dare film makers, artists or anybody that invests in creativity stop us pirating their works for free. I want to be able to walk into my local...

Nice review and very informative. One thing I'd like to add (in reply to whs001's 1st question), the main reason to have the same interface from...

For the first time in history, AMD is leading the PC processor design, and Intel is following. The AMD 64 processors are the evolution of the x86 32 bit design. AMD usually followed Intel, because in the past Intel knew where the market was going. However, Intel made some bad design decisions with the Prescott and they fell into their own trap of the megahertz myth. Now the scramble to AMD 64 design that Intel is doing with the Narcona is a testiment to the engineers and staff at AMD.
From the day I planned to nominate the
full component parts of my first computer to be assembled by a professional, I had
decided that AMD would be the chosen
processor. I have had three upgrades to
my PC in the following, three years with
AMD at the heart of all. Bob Ramage.
