RE: [PLUG] Free AMD stuff.
|
I never paid much attention to any AMD offering prior to the Athlons. That
CPU may very well have become the Athlon for all I know.
AMD was never a serious contender prior to the Athlon because of their
supply problems. However, now they are clearly the CPU of choice for both
performance machines.
Also, now that they have a chipset with integrated audio and video, they are
also the choice for budget boxes.
I just switched to a TigerMP with dual AMD cpu's and I love it.

Speaking of AMD technology, what happened to the K6-3? AMD makes no
reference to
it on its Web site.
