This news has made AMD'ers happy
Seems that for one week this past month, there were more AMD-based desktops
sold than Intel-based. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/hardware/33636.html For the week ending April 24th, 52% of retail desktops were AMD, and only 47% were Intel. Minor, temporary victory? Absolutely. Just a victory in one geographical market, North America? Sure. Just represents retail sales only? Yup. Achieved in the middle of an overall bad quarter? Possibly. But has this situation ever arisen before, where AMD outsold Intel? I've never seen it, ever.

Yousuf Khan Yep, at the present time, AMD sports a better CPU at a lower price so it is no wonder they are outselling Intel. Good competition between these two will only help the consumer. Allan |

The prices for AMD widgets has gone up, just when I'm about to dive in. *******s! ;-) Serioulsy, I've got the guts picked out, simply thinking about a case and a graphics card. Suggestions? Note that the case must support SuSE and dual monitors. ;-) -- Keith |

I'm sure not selling or even sugesting anyone buy P4 systems with things the way they are now. -- Stacey |

I don't see why its such a big surprise, AMD has always been strong in retail. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m.../article.jhtml The more things change, the more they stay the same. |

But has this situation ever arisen before, where AMD outsold Intel? I've never seen it, ever. They didn't outsell Intel. Intel still sold over 80% of all CPUs (something like 83%). They killed in the notebook market and server markets which have the highest margins. Thus, Intel likely profited far more than AMD. It is still a great sign for AMD. We'll see what happens this next quarter when Intel ups the ante with Grantsdale/Alderwood and a 3.6 GHz part along with Dothan. |

For a case, I never even bother to look beyond Antec now but choose carefully according to the power supply if included - the TruePower ones have a thermistor controlled fan in the P/S and special connectors for controlling the case fans off the same temp measurement. The Plus AMG cases seem to work fine in our office and I'm looking at that or the Lifestyle series Sonata for my home system. Of course, all their cases satisfy the AMD design criteria for airflow though I'd hope that's true of all the other brands.
