I think in the past most super computers were built around IBM processors.

Absolutely they were. Back in the late 70's and into the 80's I recall the HUGE super computers at Paradyne and E-Systems, they were IBM based. In fact, they took up entire rooms. Hard to believe that what used to occupy a room the size of a small house now occupies about 4 square feet if that.

9k in 3d06 is NOTHING to brag about.

I have 11k3 with an Intel AGP system. :nutkick:

Yeah, but he's talking about a laptop. 9k in 3d06 is pretty damn respectable.

I have to say, though, considering how long AMD has been around compared to Intel's history, AMD have come a very long and respectable way.

AMD: founded 1969
