> root for the underdog This has been a lot of it for me. I didn't switch to AMD until the Athlon XP 1700+ came out. I've stuck with them for desktop builds, mostly, except a few budget "Intel Gxxx" cpus, while I stuck with Intel for laptop purchases until the Ryzen 4xxx chips came out. I've switched between Nvidia and ATI/AMD a lot over the years. If Intel becomes the underdog (against the AMD and Apple titans), I guess I'll have to hope they put out good products :)
