*sigh* I haven't read the whole article yet, but it sounds kinda
depressing and annoying. At least a motherboard chipset is a little
easier to fix than a CPU.
I'm still rooting for AMD though. I want them to have a couple
of 'obviously much better than Intel' years so they are accepted as a
choice and a fact of life, rather than a swattable nuisance.
