AMD does advertise, just not on TV like Intel.... ALienware is making a deal with them to advertise the Aurora ALX, stating it beats ANY Area-51 Setup to boost their Aurora Sales, so that should make people aware of AMDs presence.
And Gateway is picking up AMD soon, and HP already did, but is going to increase the number of models with AMD64 processors. AMD is coming up and up. I mean, they just built that new plant in Dresden, Germany that is the single most ADVANCED Microprocssor plant in the WORLD!
