   I wonder if any big changes will become because of this. I mean, AMD is really starting to gain ground on intel in the market. I hope this new guy doesn't screw it up.

   The first task on the agenda for Dirk Meyer should be to lower AMD processor costs back down to where they were prior to the increase . I love AMD, but raising the price tag for a bigger profit because Intel isn't putting up much of a fight is not the way to win the crowd's heart.

They share the market 50/50 and have great customer satisfaction and yet still bring in the paychcks and then some.
