David,

But perhaps you are right, there may be some jealosy about Intel's rather prominant recognition and they want to say to themselves that you are buying Compaq not Intel.

I bet boxmakers hate to include the famous "XXX computers feature Intel Pentium processors" line. It distracts from their message.
Since everybody has to do it to get equal amount of change back from Intel, it amounts to Intel forcing companies to advertize Intel brand through their monopoly position in the marketplace. (A possible new DOJ investigation?)

A leader like Compaq don't like this kind of dependence. It may be one reason not to use Intel processors, even though they could get similarly performing Intel processors for similar price. Notice that in almost every category where there is a non-Intel, comparable chip, Compaq went with non-Intel chip.
