Which ones?Well speaking from experience. I have spent the past 4 years doing volunteer tech support at my old high school. IGPs are one of the most common things that fail.
Relative to what?Perhpas you didn't notice, but this is the "Building, Buying, or Upgrading High Performance PC Systems" section. IGPs are not, never have been and most likely never will be high end.
Yes. I don't have to endorse a company I don't like.So what you are saying is, you wouldn't endorse, recommend or buy Intel
No. But again, red herring.even if every other chip makers chips were having 80% fail rates and were half the performance and double the price of Intel chips?
awww thanks, i've applied many times
The school district buys dell and has many old machines so the bulk of the igps are via and intel. However they do have some gateway laptops with Turions and a few of them are out of action from general mobo issues. Guess who makes their chipsets.Which ones?
High performance components mostly.Relative to what?
Maybe so but it doesn't hold a grain of hope against modern dedicated cards. It may play Crysis on the lowest settings and lowest resolution but that is hardly "high performance" compared to the rest of the market.790GX is a high-performance IGP. It's basically leaps and bounds ahead of any other IGP, except for an overclocked 780G.
And unless you're anal about an insignificantly small probability of failure that you could easily apply to every other component in the system
It's not like you keep hearing of 790GX boards spontaneously dying, with or without people using the IGP's.
Sometimes ATI, sometimes Nvidia. None of them are 790GX.The school district buys dell and has many old machines so the bulk of the igps are via and intel.

790GX is a high performance component (both the board itself and the IGP, relative to other IGP's)High performance components mostly.
Yeah, but it basically comes free with the motherboard.Maybe so but it doesn't hold a grain of hope against modern dedicated cards.
It can do better than that.It may play Crysis on the lowest settings and lowest resolution
It's high performance compared to the rest of the IGP's.but that is hardly "high performance" compared to the rest of the market.
According to whose arbitrary definition of high-end?To be High performance the component has to be in the upper crust.
Again, relative to what? (by actually specifying something, you are still making an arbitrary judgement)a HD4870 is high performance your 780G is not.
790GX boards are high-quality.I am anal about my parts. I hate it when my stuff breaks. I have ahd friends cut corners and pay for it many times. Some people never learn. The way to avoid that is to buy quality components. If they do fail you know they will have a good warranty.
And this is anecdotal evidence based on one person's experience using one system from each brand, which could easily be countered with examples from another person with the opposite experience.And speaking of AMD reliability. I have a buddy who has an AM2 system. he had a great deal of trouble getting the **** thing to work. The motherboard failed two or three times before he finally got it working. He never could get a good OC and he was always disappointed with its gaming performance. Funny thing is, before he had that one he had a P4 prescott, and there are many funny stories about that system too.
Not their products, the company itself.Of course not. But that's wasn't the point of my comment. The point was to show that you are biased against one companies products
Do you even know the reasons I don't like Intel?for unfair reasons.
That's begging the question.That sort of bias has no place in a forum where the goal is to recommend what is best for the consumer.
Not when the entire reason I don't like the company is because that company is an anti-competitive bully which tries to stifle competition, and hence, not have to innovate, which would make us, the customers, lose.By purposely excluding a company you have already defeated that purpose.
er, but also improved transistor design, and lower power leakage)

They don't buy phenom systems. But its a fair reflection of the QC in general.Sometimes ATI, sometimes Nvidia. None of them are 790GX.
