I know where you got that idea from brad. Simple OcP and I did it! WE yelled intel rox and P4s rock when we lost. So did like 90% of the crowd.

Heh, it was about 40F when I went, standing in this cold dark parking lot. There were only about 250-300+ people there, so we had decent chances. About 5-6 people right around me won. IT was pretty decent, reminded me of the old one day truck shows, only in those I won every time

AMD just plain needs to advertise. The largest advertising they have done in recent times has been ads in computer magazines for ppl who already know about them and a truck rolling around giving free stuff away but no one that isn't planning to be there has any idea what the hell is going on. They need to advertise like Intel then they could do something and maybe get some OEMs working with them. Some big name ones anyway.

sup lc? i think that this just proves my point that i made in pro/chat of "long island = alcheehol = socket 478" anyway.

yes, amd does need to advertise. i thought it was funny that they quoted intel in an ad though. ok time to go buy an itanic...

there was one tv commercial I only saw two times back when the AThlon SLot A came out. That was it in the way of public ads.

Yep, I think they need to do more general public advertising. However I like that they get down and dirty with the hardcore people.
