Dan, right or wrong, people, and corporations pay more for Intel based systems. Call it brand name, call it mystique, call it less worries over compatibility, call it expectation of higher quality AND reliability, call it reliability is proportional to yield and we know who always has higher yields, or call it what you want. People also pay more for Mercedes Benzes, BMWs and Lexus' than for equally configured cars that are probably just as good. Why is that? Me, unless the difference is ridiculous, I'd buy the Intel based one because I'd expect it to work fine and last a long time. So do corporations because you'll never get fired for specifying Intel (used to be IBM).
