Amd new chips are pretty good, i use to be a loyal amd fan in the fx days, then i went to intel because thats where the peformance is, i think intel, and amd need to drop prices, with the struggling economy, people are holding tight to the cash, but when prices drop its definitly going get people to buy who were holding back.

My prediction is amd will in the next 2 years take the processor crown back, even though there struggling financialy right now, and rebuilding there company, if they survive these hard times, they will bounch back in a big way, i hope they do, nothing like some good competition between intel and amd, where before when buying, or building a new computer its a no brainer your buying a intel chip. I like it when you have to go which processor do i buy amd or intel.
