"I just like amd better"

I buy the fastest CPU that my budget affords at teh time I upgrade.
If that is AMD or Intel, so be it. I have no loyalties.

I like AMD better because I get better performance for less money.

1. price
2. performance
3. overclocking
don't get me wrong...I don't hate Intel...every Pentium I've owned has been rock solid (man I miss my 200mhz Pentium Pro!)...AMD's are just so much more...fun! The first two systems I ever built by myself were AMDs, because I was (still am) a student and on a student budget. They didn't disappoint! AMD will always have a special place in my heart
I'm an AMD fanboy, but I am still all about value/performance.. that is why I am an AMD fanboy. plus, I'd like to see them survive, so truthfully I'd rather buy them.

muahaha
yeah~ there is no reason beyond AMD that attracts me to them beyond price/preformance. Intel isn't any more stable, and it preforms well
but AMD is just soooo nice when it comes to preformance/cost.

But NEC floppies have it all over TEAC *and* Sony.
(True - I have one here, that is only about 1/3 or 1/4 the height of a normal floppy, and uses a different sort of head-actuator, that is nearly totally silent rather than the "grind-grind" of a normal floppy's stepper. I think it's actually a laptop floppy mechanism, but with a desktop faceplate and mounting holes. If I could find another one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. This one has lasted quite a few years, but I'm sure it won't last forever, and I would like to have a "silent floppy" for the future.)

Bah. I went with the nine-back Samsung from the local momnpop computer shop. Same craptacular performance as the competition! wheeeeee!!!
I've been wondering, is almost all of the mod staff composed of AT staff? Kris demonstrated once that you have the same abilities.
I like Mitsumi floppies. I had a Teac It was loud. And I had a Sony that had the drive interface socket up side down and it would write disks that niether it nor any other drive could read.

I thought you have to in order to do certain mods like bios flashes for motherboards and video cards..Well that's all I use them for anyway. If you can tell me how to mount these utilities w/o a floppy off a NTFS drive someplace I'd apprciate it becasue it would save me $10 every comp I have...
