When I dig dipper in to my choice of loyalty I can come out with bunch of reasons, but key ones are the fact that hardware that I'm loyal to I've cached out from my own money in the years of grates crises, and that HW served me without glitch for many years... when t I've gathered more money I've again went for AMD... and when I've got in the line of business that allowed "hardware promiscuity" I've switched sides from time to time, but eventually always returning to the roots
didn't mean to sound harsh but its true..and its not the fact that you switch from time to time..i spend money on whatever is worth it at the time..usually the best of either side..but when some people are so loyal as to throw their hard earned money on an inferior product just because of the badge it wears, that i think is retarded...both manufacturers have their ups and downs.. and when you jump on a new tech/arch theres going to be issues..even as great as the 8800gtx was it still had issues on launch..same goes for the 4870x2(ive owned both around launch time and had issues with both) however both pulled through after some driver updates and performed great...however i just killed my 4870x2 with a water accident so now my next card will be whichever seems best for the money..i might possibly wait til fermi release since its not TOO far away plus i dont have 400-500 to drop on a card right now..but ill consider both to see which will get my hard earned money...
