re: Seems like when AMD was able to compete, companies such as HP and Dell were able to dump the Intel rebates because they figured having AMD in their lineup was worth it. First, go back and reread fpg Message 23942131 HP -- once HP got to about 30% AMD, Intel's first dollar rebates became ineffective. This is true of any OEM. If you don't read fpg's post you can't understand why. Intel could still play the same game with market segments that don't have significant AMD penetration, e.g., quad-core CPUs. DELL -- I think it was Intel who dropped the loyalty rebate first. It was as easy as hitting the red Easy button from Staples. Opteron was first 64-bit server processor and first dual core server processor, but it still took another year before DELL pushed that "easy" button. LOL. Petz
