re: I wonder how many other people are like that.

Lot's of 'em. The mere fact that AMD is now offered by Dell, TOO, validates that fact. The real issue is what sells. If the trend is toward C2D b/c of the hype, the knowledge that P/P and P/W is better, then Intel wins. Obviously, eventually, the better product ALWAYS wins... It may take time, but then the ramp also takes time. It goes hand-in-hand. Intel can win this, but they have to execute 45nm, tweaks, and a new architecture before AMD. If so, AMD is toast.

PS: What do you think it's going to take for Intel to do the above? Lots of money. The very thing that AMD doesn't have (unless, of course, they dilute some more, issue bonds, debentures or get some PEG money). AMD is a little short and a day late.
