just like to interject for an moment. What you’re referring to as AMD,
is in fact, ATI/AMD, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, ATI plus
AMD. AMD is not an operating component unto itself, but rather another
component of a fully functioning ATI system made useful by the ATI
graphics, driver utilities and vital system components comprising a full
system as defined by Intel. Many computer users run a modified version of the ATI system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn
of events, the version of ATI which is widely used today is often
called “AMD”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically
the ATI system, developed by the ATI Project. There really is a AMD, and
these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they
use. AMD is the CPU: the chip in the system that allocates the machine’s
resources to the other programs that you run. The CPU is an essential
part of a system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the
context of a complete operating system. AMD is normally used in
combination with the ATI graphics drivers: the whole system is basically
ATI with AMD added, or ATI/AMD. All the so-called "AMD" computers are
really computers of ATI/AMD. |
