@Not a Short " AMD needs every advantage it can give the OEM to entice customers to change that viewpoint. "
Not so fast - take a breath. 250 and 850 are coming online just the next weeks. System vendors will use in the future "only" PC3200 DRAM designs with NUMA aware OS'es on 64BIT with optimized 64BIT applications. Mmmhhh - seems to me, that AMD has enough stuff in the pipeline to entertain Intel for the next 1-2 years ... (not to factor in eventually Serverworks chipsets)
