RE:"I really don't get it...."

O' Kay....

RE:"why are the PC makers encouraging a set up whereby there is only one chip supplier...INTC? You would think the duopoly is to their advantage"

They are hurting big time and scrambling to streamline.
Intel has the ability to match advertizing dollars.
They have the higher Mhz...
They really have little choice but to go Intel.

Of course, in the end it will all blow up in their face when Intel jacks up their CPU prices but for now these boxmakers are just trying to survive...
