AMD website sucks

75% of the time when I click link or that damn search button I get:

Problem Report

There was a communication problem.

Message ID

TCP_ERROR

Problem Description

The system was unable to communicate with the server.

Possible Problem Cause


* The Web server may be down.
* The Web server may be too busy.
* The Web server may be experiencing other problems, preventing it from responding to clients.
* The communication path may be experiencing problems.



Possible Solution

Try connecting to this server later.

I have more bandwidth than god so I know its not my connection. That computer hosting the site cannot handle the requests. AHAHAHAHAA POS AMD machines =)
 

Good example why not to use AMD based web server.

Hm, when I click their search button off their main site I get a "This page cannot be displayed" by IE. I've got DSL, so it's not my system. They have some issues to work out.

LOL Intel website is worse! LOL!!!!!!!!

From now on when someone asks you how fast your computer is, tell them your benchmark scores.

Yes they do monley man they say right on the site [-peep-] fer brains. geeze and i thought i smoked a lot of weed!!!

Fugger, I've sent an URGENT MESSAGE to AMD regarding this tragedy. I feel your pain....we'll support you through this traumatic moment.....

lies...ALL LIES!!!!

<font color=green> I LOVE INTEL. It tastes like chicken </font color=green>

I think he FUGGed up the search server because he typed in:

I need a life and nobody likes me and I'm a big FUGG and please tell me what to do???!!!

then he hit enter, and thats when the FUGGing search stopped workin'

Funny, web servers I know using AMD's processors are all running without any gliches. The key is, those machines doesn't use any M$ software It's really stupid to claim that AMD's website doesn't work cause of the processors they use/manufacture. Or maybe my car broke down cause I once transported "intel inside"-computer with it ? Bad Intel, BAD BAD INTEL !!!

How can you stand to be on a message board that is entirly running on AMD CPU based servers?

Yes. 2 servers actually. However, the software makes way more of a difference than the used platform.

I don't know... I'm not a spawn or anything. I'm not an Intel puppy. I'm not an AMD lemming. I'm just some guy trying to make a living as a software engineer and using whatever tools best meet my needs in the process.

I could say the following:
<i>"I do however find it highly reasonable that a company that has such poor software engineering resources that they couldn't write a decent emulator for their own chip and had to hire someone else to do it, is now having web site software difficulties. It only makes sense. Obviously AMD does not have great software engineers. They might be good with hardware, but their software is another matter."</i>

Or, I could say this instead:
<i>"I find it very funny that AMD is having bandwidth problems. Their products must be so buggy that their users are constantly on their web page trying to download the latest drivers or find other fixes for their problems."</i>

However, I won't say either of those things. Instead, I'll just say the following:
<i>"The problem sounds like AMD is having bandwidth issues, probably because they're grown to be so popular and are having a hard time keeping up with all of their new users. I guess that they just don't have enough bandwidth, or enough servers working on serving their website. Maybe they should put a little more money into running their site and taking care of their customers. They make good chips, so it's sad to see them having problems like that."</i>

This explains nothing. As I said the software is way more important. What data loss are you talking about anyways?

i will loose the connection to the SQL data bases 5 or 8 times a day. I know the severs are congested at times but if the server cant complete or keep my request then maybe you shoould do some upgrades over there. Cause i know that it isnt my connection fault. Later aligator.

I know that my office's proxy server loses connection to THG a lot. But that's not THG's fault. It loses connection to any web pages a lot. That's the price that you pay for having a single DSL line split between fifty employees.

Usually, I'd have a better connection speed just using a 56k modem. That is, if I could use one here. Heh heh.

And I'm mildly depressed because I can't tracert from work. The joys of being behind a firewall. No telnet, no tracert, and no IMs equals no fun for me.

- I once bought a van in Reno just to watch it die.

first of all I knew for a long time THG ran on AMD servers from pair.com, but also pair had problems not so long ago in configuring their AMD servers to there liking.

"or some of their new spawns" - HolyGrenade

you gotta be kidding me, are you accusing me of having other aliases on this board?

"Amd cpu...Gone in 2 secs flat, it truly is a fast chip!"

damn, so THATS why my tire blew....

From now on when someone asks you how fast your computer is, tell them your benchmark scores.

Nether did I.
