Will,
Your story pretty kinda parallels mine.
I'm an I.T. Administrator (have been for 20 years). I've loved AMD since the early '90s. I couldn't stand Intel's arrogance and monopolistic pricing so I embraced AMD. I really wish I would have bought some stock in the company back then, when it was only $3.00 a share, but I digress.
I never had the reliability problems that you had with the 100 or so systems I installed, but different folks have different experiences. AMD for years pushed the envelope on processor performance until the Intel Core 2 hit the market.
Nowadays all that I purchase and install in my job are Intel boxes. I hope AMD will get back on track and keep Intel's pricing in check. Otherwise we will be paying high prices like the Mac folks (sorry Max
) .
I think AMD may have a long road in front of them and I fear they may have bitten off more than they can chew with the purchase of ATI Graphics.
Just my
