Hi Paul:

Yes it is. Let's see how the game gets played out now, and whether or not "Intel outside" can keep its Dell and GTW a captive audience with this latest promise in what seems an unending stream of unfulfilled promises.

Dell and GTW just have to be looking over their shoulders at Axis right now who are offering 8 different AMD configurations, 6 of which are built around the "spry Athy". Sounds to me like Axis has their act together...How much longer can Dell and GTW afford to wait?

Dell and GTW must already be wondering whether or not anyone will purchase the PWeeIII based systems when they cost at least $200 more than similarly configured Athlon systems and don't run as smoothly and fall behind in many of the important benchmarks!

If Dell and GTW don't soon jump aboard the Athlon express, they may find their roles reversed relative to Axis in much the same manner the PWeeIII has found its role reversed relative to the "spry Athy"!
