I think those "intel inside your music" commercials with the choppy looking 
video are hysterical. They must make them look choppy like that to 
desensitize the customers to stuttering performance. And, if I take the 
context of the ads at face value, my AMD rigs won't burn CD's or print 
labels because it doesn't have an Intel processor.

I have 2 Intel and 2 Athlon rigs. I have *far* more trouble with the Intel 
rigs.
