Wow....have you guys seen this?  This blew me away......stumbled on this
looking for some "tweak-programs" for this ASUS mobo problem reported to you
below.

It's not surprising, it'll be a poll pre***ly driven by
consumer voting. However, I doubt Intel has too much to worry
about especially since picking up the R&D to the Alpha chip.

Consumer market is a drop in the pond when it comes to PC
sales.

Recently I had to configure a box for a customer (transfer his E-mail and
stuff from the old one), a Compaq Pressario 1.2Ghz Athlon. Unbeknown to me a
piece of transportation tape had been left inside and found it's way into
the processor fan. That processor spent 4 hours cooking itself before I
opened the case to check if the constant locking up could have something to
do with a card or connector not being properly seated (one doesn't expect
something like that to happen in a brand new Compaq). Burned my fingers on
the heatsink at the time, but with ventilation restored it's still running
reliably now.

Score one for AMD as far as I'm concerned.

Not only do the PC industry wants us to change our PC every 2 years or so
but then you would imply that we would have to change our software every 2
years when the programmers take into account the "new" functions of each
chip....

I remember the good old days of the MMX instructions, Pentium pro
instructions, Pentium II, Pentium III, AMD for their part just had some
special 3Dnow coding...

Do you realize if Papy had to make a GPL for P2, then add some "special"
code for P3 then for P4 when it is released...if you start down this road
you will soon end up having special video boards instructions, sound
instructions....

I think it is up to the chip manufacturers to adapt to the thousands of
programs out in this world and not have the software companies adapt to
whatever ***the Intel marketing department comes out with to justify
higher price and lower capacity..."You pay more, for less speed...BUT you
have the special instructions set"...

What a joke from them...and it works, some people still hang on to intel for
"compatibility reasons"...

AMD won't get left behind, they'll stay in front. The Athlon4 will use
SSE2 as well as 3dnow!, so any software optimised for Intel will also
be optimised for AMD. The future of AMD is looking bright IMHO.

Well, goes to show that if you make a good product, people will sit up
and take notice. Kudos to AMD. They make a killer cpu. Now if only
they'd make a killer mobo chipset...
