This has an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 so it's amusing that AMD is listed there.
Go figure?

Mine has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 965 Quad Core.
I always wanted to try an AMD chip.

Just like a Cracker Jack box we find a prize inside!
Not really looking for an answer but you bet I'll ask the next Microsofty I run into about that.

Well, AMD did come up with the x86-64 instruction set we're using now. This was while Intel was off messing about with the Itanic and it's IA64 instruction set.
It's always been informally known as AMD64. For a time Intel tried calling it EMT64, but I think they've pretty much given up on that battle.
