The first PC I built was in 1984, and no longer remember which CPU was used. Since the mid 90s I've only bought one Intel CPU (2002), and that because I'd been living in China only a month, couldn't speak the language, and the guy helping me who spoke a little Engrish reported the salesman said "AMD quit making CPUs". Being sorely in need of a server, I just bought it. Happy Penguin Computers doesn't buy anything from Intel ... period.
