Advanced Micro Devices appears ready to offer the stiffest challenge to Intel's Netbook processor yet. AMD's trump card: extra circuitry integrated into the main processor that brings a higher level of graphics horsepower to small, thin laptops.

Today, at the company's finanical analyst day, AMD announced an umbrella technology dubbed "Brazos" that comprises two new lines of processors for Netbooks ("Ontario") and small laptops ("Zacate").

Sounds good, still waiting for AMD to make chips for Mac's though..

Won't happen until Apple releases its restrictions.

Can't build a Mac computer with AMD?

Nope, because Apple restricts to Intel :V (Hackintoshes require Intel too.)

You can make a Hacintosh on AMD, it's just more tricky, but it is possible.

I'll PM you some links to check out, I've tried on my old AMD but I decided to just put it on my laptop. I would post here but don't want an infraction, so...

Once it is finished, people will be excited to see the results.
