I remember when they had their act together, when they had better chips than intel, but intel still had like 75% market share. Intel sold an inferior product for more money, so its no wonder AMD can no longer compete in terms of R&D dollars
if they are going to compete effectively, they need a nice cut of a fat antitrust fine slapped on intel
Ah yessirre, back in the day, when I was but a wee li'l whippersnapper, I can still remember those times when AMD was a real fighter: a contender. I was just a young lad then, but oh how we delighted in each titan out-doing the other every two weeks! It was so long ago...
Yeah i remember my amd athlon thunderbird 1.1ghz.... It gave me a feeling of superiority over the heard using their pentium 3's.... I can tell you I did things with a measly 128 mb of ram that no1 else was able to do on their pc's.
You know, I use to be a loyal amd fan but I have lost my faith in AMD. I bought AMD's 9950 quadcore a week ago and had nothing but problems with that chip, even when it was replaced still some small issues. I also couldn't keep the heat down below 60 celcius no matter what I did. I kept my case open and bought large fan to be placed infront of the computer. I don't think it was a very good idea for AMD to buy out ATI especially around the time Intel was heating up their competition releasing quads. AMD still can't perform competitivly with the Intel chips.
I finally gave in and bought an Intel Q6600 for 199 dollars a month ago and haven't had any issues at all. I am waiting for AMD to get their act togather because they will soon lose a lot of consumers that put faith in their products...

Even if AMD got their act together.... it would still suffer because of issues with windows and amd processors..
