"make it, and they will come". amd really did the right thing at the right time, took the risk, and developed a superior prouduct. kind of amazing really, if you compair them with intel, and the resources available to the larger manufacture :D

AMD is a great company, i used to be an Intel man, now my AMD's outnumber my Intels, but i just hope they dont fall into the same trap Intel did.
