Don't kid yourself every potential customer is on or should be on AMD's radar. If you remember when AMD was king,it was then that they made the biggest intrusion into Intel's market share. I just don't think Phenom 2 will make a big difference in Amd's bottom line.

As the value of the dollar goes down, you are losing money whether you like it or not... regardless of how much you are earning, how much you have in the bank, or how much you have invested. There is no choice in the matter.

I for one have a VERY VERY solid job. Unlike about 95% of the country, I saw this downturn coming ten years ago, and unlike about 95% of the country, I have a solid grasp on just how bad it could get. Every penny could count towards a meal one day, whether you spend it on PC hardware, a new toothbrush, or food for your cat.



Also, when you take price, value, and emotions out, I see a bunch of hardware that all runs about the same speed in the applications I use it for, and has different different color logos on it.
You make some good points, the dollar is weak but to give an example of someone doing well, a few of my friends handle bankruptcies, there business is booming, another friend owns a auto repair shop he says his business is doing better then it has in 25 years.

As far as "a bunch of hardware that all runs about the same" this is xtreme systems and every little bit counts

Again just my opinon: Menace
