Heh. They have a long history of getting killed by Intel and a relatively short period of superiority. My last 4 boxes have been Intel, AMD, Intel, AMD. That was P2, K2, P4 and now AMD64 (3500+). I plan to replace my current system this Fall (or whenever the UT3 demo hits) and unless AMD pulls a rabbit out of their hat I'm going to go Intel this time. I'm certainly not a fanboy... I'll use whatever is king at the time I'm building, but TBH I'm glad it's going to be Intel this time around. Although my current Nforce 3 based system is the most stable I've ever owned (built two years ago and nary a problem) it's still true that the industry designs toward Intel based platforms.
