Too bad AMD kicks so much of Intel's ass it isn't funny.

Intel = Way higher prices for parts, slower to adopt 64-bit architecture, under fire for being an evil monopoly (think Nintendo in its late 80's heyday.)

AMD = Much more affordable for competitive components, early adopter of 64-bit architecture (which means motherboard designers were tweaking their 64-bit support around AMD cpu's and not Intel,) strong and loyal following (pretty impressive exposure for only having 10% of the market.)

Cyrix = Who?


yeah this is going to get ugly and it will drag forever trough courts. If the charges are true intel did use some very dirty manuevers
