    Hot deal Johnny walker blue label at Costco. 209 years

    My 2 cents: If you spend $20k on one bottle of Scotch and don't tell anyone, much respect. If you spend it and tell everyone about it then you are a moron.

    "AMD Moves Away From PCs Amid Steep Losses"

    Yep, maybe if you went back to March of this year when it was trading at $8. Also, Intel was a great short in 2000 when it traded as high as $74... it is now $21.

    "AMD Moves Away From PCs Amid Steep Losses"

    Thanks for the reply. I decided to make an investment in AMD and bought the stock as a value play.

    "AMD Moves Away From PCs Amid Steep Losses"

    I bought some AMD stock today at the close. I am either going to lose every single cent or make a killing if they get it together in the next 3 to 6 months. I have always had/will have a soft spot for AMD. If they go away it will not be good news for any of us.

    What software issue exists for the Optimus V? I have one and it's great. The only issue is the VM network. It sucks. Slow speeds, spotty coverage.

    STAPLES Desktop $299 Compaq AMD Athlon™ II X2 240

    I bought this PC for my son (to replace a p4 3.0 machine). I threw in an ATI HD4670 card ($40) and it runs most everything fine. He is bigtime into Valve games (HL2, Garry's Mod, L4D2, etc.) It just flies through these games at high settings. It is incredible what you can get for $300 these...
