    Why oh why...

    do Intel (and IBM?) advertise Xeon's and "Intelligent" servers on UK Primetime TV?! are they stupid? do BT/Capital One/Goverment ICT buyers really look for their servers on the TV? or am i missing something?

    oh yeah.. lol @ the pathetic centrino adverts, im sure theres some intel lovers out there, but admit they are all pathetic, "USE OUR CENTRINO TECHNOLOGY AND YOUR WEBCAM WORKS BETTER WHEN ON BIG PRETTY MOUNTAINS!!one!1!"

    i find it funny :>, AMD seem to be doing fine, never seen an AMD Advert, maybe Intel arent doing as well as they want?:> go team AMD ..
    er, if your northbridge fan is humming loudly, disconnect it. _dont_ kick the side of the case, it _will_ break it.
    i know :/

    I actually heard an intel radio advert the other day, saying something along the lines of 'when you hear this noise <dong ding dong ding> you know a computer is equipped with Intel's world leading technology".

    I've realised why I'll try never to buy an Intel processor- it's because I detest them for inflicting that stupid noise on the world.
