Nope, a processor is a processor and AMD make some good ones. 80% of the performance for 60% of the price they say.

More interesting is the fact its in reaction to some of Intels dubious practises of blocking out competition (which Apple themselves would never do).

Duh, if it were even remotely possible to fit all those words into a book i'm sure someone would have attempted it by now!

BUT Excel 2000 can hold 65536 things and i'm pretty sure that'd cover it and I could even write a macroid so the words could line up A-Z. Hmmm, Plan B.

I am not a native English speaker so I would like to learn the correct way of referring to ones children's children.

Or maybe she wishes that her grand child had listened more attentively in English class, so common but revealing mistakes would have been avoided and the grand child would actually be able to write granny a nice email. A Mac cannot yet fix poorly educated grand children. Until it can, maybe a CPU is important.

HTH

You can already build an AMD Hackintosh if you wish. So what?
