Support Freedom of Choice !!!

I know this is probably not the place to vent my frustrations over the Intel versus AMD situation. It doesn't matter if you are a diehard pentium or athlon fan, this whole mess with legal actions generated from Intel towards VIA, FIC Motherboards, etc. in an attempt to stop or at least slow down production of athlon based mobo's is total BS. Whats even more sickining is the number of respected mobo manufacturer's which are cowering to Intel's backdoor threats and tactics. Does INTEL feel that Threaten ? What happen to the Free Enterprise System ? As a consumer and user, voice your disapproval and support by taking a moment to read and sign the petition at the following URL:

Also, visit the growing number of hardware sites which support the petition directed towards makers of motherboards in Taiwan in an effort to show their whole-hearted support for AMD's Athlon K7 microprocessor.

I think M$ killed that fair and free enterprise thing. I am broke right now, but I am saving up for an Athlon .18um. I am an Abit adict, so I am gona have to wait for something from them.

Just saw a special on TV about he CEO of Intel...what's his name, Barret? Anywho, I love how the networks sugarcoat things when they say "He's a go-getter" when that actually means he's squeezing any chance of competition off.

<-- Intel user.

The reg linked failed for me, but in my experience the more these people try to kill things the stronger the resistance grows.

Anyroad, VIA has been sued more times by Intel than I've had hot dinners. Still in biz.

I like your avatar, fluffy

Yeah - For me it's just price/performance. Brand name doesn't mean anything, which is why i don't understand why non-overclocking types buy intel. :rolleyes:
