Why do you think that, Fez?

Because I just do.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

I see. You are a very emotional boy, Fez. I don't think you'd make a very good politician, or diplomat.

Of course you would, Fez, of course you would.
You're nowhere near being overemotional, and you're a very rational person who knows how to express his opinions.

Actually I think you are partially right, considering my age... I must be a bit vivid in saying my descriptions... sometimes a bit too vivid... must be hormones or something...

On a different note, building my last computer has scarred me for life, but you can only notice that if you look at my index and middle fingers on my right hand (lousy, sharp Chinese computer parts)."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

you've used that saying out of context Ash, (and you probally know that) that quote was being bandied about when major corporate contracts for mainframe and mini computers were being contested in the 80's and (to a lesser extent the 90's). It's has nothing to so with the current intel/AMD squabbles.Originally posted by Asher
I wonder if you have any concept of the AMD and Intel history...
There's a reason why corporations buy Intel even if AMD may be faster and cheaper: "Nobody ever got fired for buying Intel".
the difference is that the mainframe/mini's were incompatable with other systems, so if you chose to go with a company that may go bust in 6 months or didn't support their product, you'd were in trouble, thats why traditionally Intel have been able to charge premium rates to comapanies. I don't see that buyers of personnel computers need have such worries when buying AMD?Comment

But corporations tend to. AMD keeps consistently posting losses even though they have pretty good hardware, while Intel keeps posting a profit. Which do you think will be around longer? Intel's also about 6x the size of AMD.
Then there's the issue of most investors/corporations thinking Sanders is a complete flake.
Intel is usually renowned for its compatability and stability, something AMD has always struggled with and is just in recent years been about on par with Intel. Intel's proven background goes a long way with them.
Of course this isn't really relevant with "personal" computers, but I'm just showing him that it's AMD that generally has the "garbage" reputation while Intel has long been associated with "quality", not vice versa."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

I think that AMD was better for a while in the past
I am not sure who is better now (my current machine is AMD, I built it about a year ago)
but I will say this, most institutions and governmental agencies buy intel
I think at times they were foolish (like when I bought mine) but they do
they buy it for reasons Asher has stated
that is the same reason they buy IBM (go to a governmental agency, there are IBM machines eevrywhere)

cool;O) still a naughty quote though, eh?;o)
The IT manager where I work buys Intel and i don't blame him, it's not his money and it's a safe bet. but AMD are very tempting for personnal users. Intel are always going to struggle to keep their price down as they effectivly fund a good percentage of AMD's R&D, but what does Joe Bloggs care when he's on a budget?Comment
