John, Gateway's woes and finger pointing:

Gateway, which is almost exclusively dependent on Intel for motherboards as well as processors, said it was Intel's
aggressive pricing throughout 1999 that persuaded it to essentially drop AMD from its lineup. The company said it's
logistically easier to use a single supplier-but only if it the parts are delivered.


Sole source is never a good idea, to me. Why sole source motherboards also (if it's true). Intel isn't God for crying out loud.
