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...
