as far as intel goes.. they were no the chosen from the start.. but they quickly gained acceptance.
Their practice of holding back chips to ensure revenue, paying others to not stock other brands and forcing exclusive deals hurt everyone.
AMD has ligitimate complaints, so would cyrex if they were still around.
To tell you the truth.. VIA chipsets are now more frequent than amd or intel. They are a sleeping giant. But they are competing honestly.. unlike intel.
