that's because that's the end of the 'training' page. it took me a while.

go back to where you chose the AMD Training, and there's an icon next to it called the 'AMD Challenge'

I registered around 5:00pm today, but when I login it says "Sorry, but the login credentials you supplied are not valid. Please try again or contact AMD at 1-800-480-3300 or marketbuilder@amd.com for assistance. " Anybody else get this. I really want in on this.

Yeah it took me several tries to create my account. Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow. If not I will just call them. How long will this last? I am leaving tomorrow afternoon and will be away from the internet for about 3 days.

I'm gonna call the number tomorrow since I've been trying for two days now to sign up. The sad thing is, I'm probably in the minority of people that signed up in that I actually purchase and recommend purchase of machines for many clients of the company I work for. If I can't accomplish anything with the phone call tomorrow I have no qualms about recommending and purchasing Intel-based machines for clients. :roll:

I missed the test because the site was down so much yesterday. For my first five years in business I sold exclusively AMD based systems. Then last year I switched to the Intel platform. One thing I can honestly say. There is more money to be made from Intel products than from AMD. Reason is, AMD appeals to the young, mostly I have no money crowd. I think AMD was trying to change there cheap ways and appearance with the 64, however this deal was a prime example of the crowd that AMD appeals to, and the fact that the promotion ended a full 14 days before it expected to is proof of that. Funny thing is Intel has been doing this for years and it is everyday, processors and motherboards at half price. However with Intel you do have to be a dealer to get in.

Well, I'm sure most of the people here have $$ to purchase both products. I believe the correct phrase would be AMD appeals to the more "tech knowledgeable" crowd. We are the people that know that a 3.2 ghz Celeron gets whipped by a AMD64 2800+ processor, unlike the average person who uses the computer to surf the wed and get email. AMD makes the best processors for the best price, hands down.

I can honestly disagree with you on this one. After seven years of promoting, selling, building and providing tech support on both platforms including laptops that I build. AMD crowd is by far the one who 99% of the time tries to purchase full systems for a couple huindred below vendor pricing. Appeals to the 18-30 yo crowd the most.

Tech savy, I did not say they were stupid, just mostly low income to no income and try to get the most out of nothing.

I can also attest that my headaches with the 875P platform is 90% less than anything I ever dealt with on VIA chipsets. Best thing to happen to AMD was when Nvidia released there first chipset and gave VIA a run for there money, bet them boys straightened right out, that was about the time I completely jumped ship to Intel. 64's were way to expensive and what was the point in buying into a platform that talked of 64 bit computing 2 years before it would be available? If I am going to drop 4 bills on a processor I want it to perform for things now and for the next year. Hell I upgrade every eight months on average. I bought into the HT thing and the fact that Intel's O/C like mad with great memory bandwidth O/C's. My 3.0C is running at 3.6GHZ and my memory is running at 250FSB 1:1 with the CPU.

I would sell a XP before I sold a Celeron any day though.

Bah. I hope you were being sarcastic. Just because you don't get in on a deal doesn't mean you should get pissed at AMD. Do I whine when I don't get in on the latest HD deal from CC or the latest Dell SC400 deal? Well.... Yes I do, but I don't decide I won't shop there anymore or buy their products. You win some you lose some. I personally spent about 6 hours probably trying to get in on this deal and trying to get a friend of mine from work hooked up. Would I have been bummed if I didn't get my order in? Yes. But I'd try for 8 hours next time. Heck, I might still not get anything outta this deal judging from the chubby billfold thread. -Tal
