Re: I am sure I am not alone, but...
That's because the OEMs just aren't interested in putting AMD chips in competitive (spec and pricewise) machines.
Not to mention you go into a store and find 50 Intel machines and maybe 2 AMD based ones. One will be cheap and nasty and the other overpriced for the spec.
I still say AMD didn't help themselves by never bothering to try to market themselves to the general public....or for that matter, the IT public.
A silly jingle can help.
