I'm on an Asus Laptop right now & after my last Toshiba Satellite laptop broke on me (which had an AMD CPU in it), I just said "That's It, Never Again will I get another AMD Processor or ATI Graphics Card (ATI Graphics is nothing more then another face of AMD)...from now on it's only Intel Premiere class Processors & Asus Motherboards...I was born into the computer thing though...My Dad's sworn by Intel/Asus combination building his own computers since a long time before the intel Pentium Processor ever came out (& it was a really big deal that it had 5 accumulators)...right now, at stock settings, my Windows 7 System Information says "8 Logical Processor"...that's Octo-Core & more importantly (most importantly) it's NOT an AMD Bulldozer...

Ya, but it's worth it
