Either you acknowledge that there are multiple factors involved in decision making or you don't. If you don't then there's no point carrying on this discussion. You are simply too unfamiliar with this industry to discuss the matter intelligently. Elmer, interesting how you present the choice between AMD and Intel as an all-or-nothing decision, as if any or all of your factors determined the entire, exclusive, processor vendor choice; especially when every single one of DELL's competitors were offering both AMD and Intel systems. Is that not consistent with a "cash for exclusivity" arrangement? Do you think DELL couldn't handle ANY volume of AMD systems at all? When DELL indicated that their customers were almost literally screaming for AMD? Even when DELL says they started (and then canceled) AMD-based product lines just when AMD's products compared most favorably against Intel's (and Intel was giving DELL the largest "assistance" payments)? Do you seriously think that emails from M. Dell to Barrett/Otellini were saying (paraphrased), "DELL is getting clobbered over our Intel-only policy, what are you going to do?!" are flukes? When Intel could simply present all those other, more Intel-friendly conversations that you propose the existence of to rebut? Did you REALLY just have this exchange with borusa? rzborusa: "You completely ignore these major 6 billion dollar bribes because they are beyond your comprehension." Phud: "I mentioned that Intel rewards customer loyalty, so you are using what is called "circular reasoning"." Face it: For DELL, the real "cost" of adopting AMD was the redirection of Intel loyalty payments from DELL to DELL's competitors. fpg
