See,you clearly dont know what you are talking about. They made a series of quadcore processors,they wanted to down the production cost so they simply locked the cores or sold the ones with defect(very small precentage,thats why mobo makers use that in their advantage to get more money) 4th core as tri-core. It shows that they know how to sell their stuff.
And to be honest,I worked in a repair shop over the summer,I saw two AMD motherboards fail,from 754 and AM2 era. We threw away about 5-7 Intel motherboards away.
And AMD C series BSODing? Funny,I also have an ASUS 1015b with AMD C-50 and the Atom series can just hide in the dark and cry from it.
Ever since my first PC I had all AMD CPU's. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM STILL WORKS TODAY! I have about 15 socket 462 CPU's in my box that are like brand new.
I had an Intel before but guess what,an !OVERCLOCKED! Core2Quad6600 could not surpass the Athlon X2 250,both running at the same speed of 3,6ghz. Intel has a lead only in those fancy tests that barely make a difference to the normal user. And why the hell would he put a costy Intel into a tight budget computer.
