| Mephisto | http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1909608,00.asp I just saw the commercial on T.V. and Googled a search. As a another matter for serious discussion: I thought Intel & Microsoft were close partners? And if so, why would Intel do this? Or is money so much more important as to compromising current relations? :D | January 17, 2006, 6:17 AM |
| Topaz | The new Mac is supposed to be able to boot into Windows, and it's not like Apple is a big threat to Microsoft in the first place. | January 17, 2006, 7:04 AM |
| LordNevar | Some advice, if you follow the Stock Market at all, invest in intel. At $26.18 a share, you can't beat that, and if it does take off like estimates call for. Than you can make a pretty penny off of it. | January 17, 2006, 11:26 AM |
| peofeoknight | They also said invest heavily before the pd and x2 came out and that so far has fizzled. | January 17, 2006, 3:05 PM |

[/quote] Haha, fizzled? Yesterday I checked that stupid stock market simulator thing that trust posted a link to a while ago. This was definately before the x2 came out, and I had a bunch of AMD stock and it's up 70% since I bought it. A gain of $13,440 off of a $19,200 initial investment isn't exactly what I would call "fizzled", more like "damn, I wish that was real money". | January 17, 2006, 7:52 PM |

Last week is when I noticed this after a conversation with a friend about processor architectures, apple.com had their new works on the front page. | January 17, 2006, 8:50 PM |

AMD is just becoming more and more main stream. Neither intel or amd have had a large boost from the recent release of their dual cored procs. Trouble is dual cored procs aren't really making it into the desktop pcs yet. | January 18, 2006, 3:40 AM |
| hismajesty | Apple has had a great increase in stock price recently too. I just was curious and was looking at that Investopedia game we did here awhile ago, My Apple stock went from $38 to $76. | January 21, 2006, 5:08 PM |
| peofeoknight | Why don't we start over and do that again sometime? | January 21, 2006, 6:25 PM |
| hismajesty | Because nobody was active in it. | January 21, 2006, 7:30 PM |
| Douglas | Im down. The new MacBooks? Wow. My G4? Not even close. In response to the Intel + Microsoft = Love ; As AMD is becoming more sold in stores / manufacturers, you have to think that maybe Intel is feeling the heat? I was a Product Specialist at Circuit City; I sold more AMDs over Intel just because of my personal prefrence, so who knows. | January 21, 2006, 9:09 PM |
