Ego Surfing Gratification

So I was just [ego surfing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egosurfing) and found [a song written by Niko Donburi that has a line about my work persona, Poppy Linden](http://niko-mysecondlife.blogspot.com/2007/12/public-thank-you-to-ll.html). Woot! Here’s the song…

The Current AMD / Intel CPU Battle – Why AMD considered losing?

I just built my own computer, and I’ve been planning a writeup, but I’m still doing research because this went so well that I am planning on rebuilding my main server as well now. I decided on a low-wattage AMD CPU (the 45W BE-2400) so I could run fanless, and it was the best decision I made. I decided to look in against the performance of the Core 2 Duo E6600, which has become somewhat of a standard. The [performance of the E6600 beats the BE-2400](http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=938&model2=877&chart=426) but the BE-2400 is a $90 part, and as I suspected you [get a lot more bang for the buck](http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=938&model2=877&chart=444) as it seems you do with all AMD CPUs right now. How is AMD allegedly [doing so poorly](http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/25/0234254) if it’s satisfying customers with great value like this?
