Just to add comment... AMD said the other week that they wished Intel would advertise more as not only does it raise Intels profits but AMDs too. It appears that Mr and Mrs average go shopping for a pc they choose one that looks nice with a good moniter ect regardless what chip is inside the funny beige box..

I managed to find the article here:
Please advertise more, AMD begs Intel - The INQUIRER
