Hey guys, I'm heading out to the AMD/Microsoft Tech Show next week, so you may not see me on here much for a few days. But hopefully I'll get some good info (and swag) on upcoming releases from both companies.

I'm curious, is anyone here from the Chicago area? I'm going to be up there for a couple of days, so maybe I'll bump into some of you at the show or while I'm wandering the streets of Chicago. Let me know if you guys are going to be in the area, I'd love to meet some of our avid readers.

Pretty much. I've always been a big AMD fan. They've been a bit disappointing of late, so my main rig is running a Core 2 Duo. I'm really hoping they step up their game. I've got a lot of faith in them since they now own ATI, another brand I've always liked.

ah... ATI. I prefer nVidia.

But AMD was ALWAYS my preference. Sadly, they havent' came up with anything great lately. i used to own 2 dual opteron servers and loved them. Now... if you've been reading these forums I've just bought an intel

Hopefully at this conference they will announce some kind of super technology and I can brag about AMD again :)

I sure hope not :)

I like AMD, I have most AMD Opteron servers, and I prefer AMD CPUS (Excluding my recent purchase of a quad xeon...)

If they and MS teamed up, I would like AMD a lot less.

Yep, microsoft is a beast.

However, if they gang up on Intel I'm cool with that.

I don't think this is a sign of any teaming up. Microsoft usually puts on shows with both Intel and AMD each year. I went to one back in November of last year that was Intel/Microsoft.

If they were to team up with anyone, it would probably be AMD though. Intel ran off with Apple to get their processors in the Macs, so I could see M$ being upset over that.

Yeah, well Apple is ok. But I like apple better than MS.

If they team up and create a beast processor... I will be happy... and run linux on it :D
