Evertt Byington AMD has demonstrated that it can compete technologically with Intel. Consumers need AMD to succeed or we will see a slowdown in technology advancement, and, even worse, an increase in the cost of computer technology. Unfortunately, consumers do not always go with superior technology. Otherwise, Microsoft Word would be well behind Corel's WordPerfect. For those who think Word is a great product, you can thank WordPerfect for forcing Word to get better.
Competition is key to continued advancement.
I'll do all I can to help AMD succeed. TOO little TOO late. The Athlon architechture is impressive. William Foster AMD's efforts to compete against Intel are to be commended. I for one am not too terribly worried.
