<br />I guess AMDs new chips are very fast RISC cores emulating x86 instructions... In fact if memory serves me, the Am386DX40 worked that way too.<br />I think your right - there are fewer good independant retailers in the mass market areas. I guess they get sacraficed to the great consumerism demand, "I want it all and I want it cheap!"
