saw a Conroe crash in front of me and it corrupted the disk during that crash.
Sure you did Pete...
All the OEMs have validated Intel's parts. They love them and they buy them hand over fist. Those same OEMs have tried to validate AMD's quad cores and they won't offer products based on them. What does that tell you?
Intel Good :) AMD Bad :(
Whine all you want about your imaginary problem. Nobody cares. Certainly not OEMs or customers. What they do care about is the bugs in Barfelona.
