Intel continually tries to squash competition from AMD in any dirty rotten way it can...

but this is just funny.... 50$ to unlock features on a cpu?

Im sorry I will never every buy an Intel CPU... the insane greed from these farkers is just that...

never liked intel, i find them way too expensive for what they are and the commercials really annoy me.

I love AMD, all of my home build PCs have been and always will be AMD. Also we just ordered new computers for the entire office through Dell, all of them are AMD.

he only Intel support I do is with Apple computers and that is because I don't have a choice.

But the Apples I order do at least have ATI graphics cards. I have to get my AMD support in somewhere.

how silly. makes little to no sense why you would do that when chips are so cheap and efficient. I guess when I build another computer i'll be going AMD's way from now on.

I have always had AMD chips in every computer, except for my netbook, which there really isn't a good AMD comparable chip vs the Intel Atom.

I do a lot of encoding so I don't have a choice, I buy Intel.

As cool as the Intel i7 processors are, my amd phenom 2 does what I need very nicely and I did not have to spend a fortune. 3.0 GHZ quad core 64 bit is more then enough for half the price.

I think this is more a warning to not buy a shitty pre-built rather than AMD Vs. Intel.
