Re: And didn't Gateway DUMP AMD after about 6 months of selling Kdawg 6's ?

I think Gateway has learned its lesson as far as relying on a single source for CPUs is concerned.

Dumping AMD as a second source may be one of the main reasons Waite has stepped aside as CEO. Don't think he was forced, but disappointment over that decision may have caused him to think it was time to let some others increase their influence.

Too bad, really, he was always more interesting and had more common sense than most. Then he decided to depend on Intel - oh well.

Just speculation.
