RE:"According to Pete's estimations, CPU cost is a tiny fraction of the total server cost. Given ~$200 price tag on recent CPUs, what would motivate a startup to start AMD-only servers? Is it the level of support they can get from AMD, or design-by-example, or better industry-wide standartization and compatibility? Level of OS support? Availability of Athlon-optimized drivers? Long-term stability of CPU supply?" Good question. It's up to AMD to convince some of these guys that AMD can get the job done. Not easy in a contracting server market. One thing for sure, the large OEMs aren'r willing to step up and help. AMDs best weapon now it to give decent prices and tell them that Intel is looking out not for them but for the large OEMs...
