The minority? How many people do you know? Do you think that you know more people than there are satisfied/happy AMD users?!

Even if you got an AMD chip to physically fit on an Intel motherboard, or vice-versa, it wouldn't work electrically. In fact, if you are completely serious about trying it, then it makes your anti-AMD 'findings' *very* dubious, and someone might suggest that you don't know what you are doing, and should stick to pre-built PCs...
