[Cialug] Slightly OT, .. AMD vs. Intel

[David Champion]

I used to be a big fan of AMD, because you could get good price to 
performance.

Lately I've been using Intel. I upgraded my home desktop a while back to 
a quad core i5, and I've been really happy with it.

I don't like the AMD / Radeon graphics cards, primarily because of their 
fragmented driver support in Windows, vs nVidia's unified driver.

Maybe AMD is counting on that graphics expertise to bridge the gap?
