AMD vs Intel - legal issues ... and why Intel is big right now
Viseroid:
Nvidia is in some hot waters with Intel and there have been some speculations that Nvidia would get edged out in the future. I'm not one for brand loyalty but I'd like to see Nvidia stay, otherwise ati cards will start costing more :P.

>,< One of the companies I had always planned on investing in when I get the cash to do so. Looks like I missed the bus to $$ville though. :'( :-X :-[

It is my first Intel CPU ever, outside of the outdated shit I played with as a kid that likely had an Intel at some point. I am very happy with it and it performs very well, and taking it from 2.13Ghz to 3Ghz was a nice effort too

Probably have the same chip I have. E6400? I can take mine from 2.13 to 3Ghz on air. Have had it clocked that way for almost 2 years now with no stability problems. Plays 1080p without stuttering and plays any game I throw at it... pretty damn decent for a 2+ year old computer build. (I did upgrade my video card though).

Actually I have an E6420... so I have 2MB more L2 cache than you, neener! :P
It's a very good chip for sure. I was hoping to push it to 3.5Ghz on water, but that almost ended in a disaster due to a defective pump and I just decided not to mess with it until I actually had spare money to burn.. So I sucked it up and bought a Noctua.. It was a hard decision to spend that kind of money on a piece of Aluminum, but damn was it worth it. I've got two Noctua 120's on the HSF, and two more for intake/exhaust. My system is soooo quiet, I can finally leave it on when I sleep again. The last time I was able to do that was years ago with my last water cooling setup.

Even in a conceivable future where AMD runs the monopoly instead, is kicking Intel's ass, and is also selling mid-range quad-cores for >$1000?
Buy the product, not the brand. you don't get any benefits from being a loyalist (unless AMD secretly sends you new processors every half-year or so to keep you a fanboy, in that case more power to you, and send me a processor or two every so often :D).

I own AMD stock and I like AMD/ATI products. So I am biased but I ultimately prefer their products hence I bought shares.

Ill have to say i bought my quadcore (intel) due to "benchmark" graphs and reviews I read online. I wouldnt have minded getting an AMD, but hey intel is currently kicking AMD's ass (as far as I know this has happened since the core2 was released)
