AMD really are deep in doo-doo at the moment and they need some major funds to be able to compete in the CPU and GPU market segments! Their new CPUs and GPU tech are both at least 12 months behind the competition and you would have to be completely bananas not to buy a Intel Core2 chip, Intel, NForce, VIA or SiS chipset motherboard and Nvidia GPU.

Does anyone here @ GH own a new Radeon HD 3000 based GPU?
Does anyone here @ GH own a ATI motherboard?
Does anyone here intend to own an AMD Phenom CPU?

Whilst AMD make some good mid-range/entry level ATI Radeon hardware they offer nothing which significantly outperforms the equivalent Nvidia chip. They simply no longer have the resources to invest heavily into out-smarting Nvidia at any level.

Lets hope Samsung put a decent offer down for a majority stake in the company and invest heavily into R&D.
