RE: COSTCO AMD computers COSTCO is a brilliant merchandising firm, and carries only a few brands in each category, changing them as opportunities arise. COSTCO does not carry lines, i.e. you can never count on finding a particular brand. Rather it negotiates each shipment of goods and sells it out and drops it unless it can restock on attractive terms. I would be surprised that you would ever find a leading model that had any supply limits because the maker would not make concessions to COSTCO as COSTCO usually demands. COSTCO emphasizes value (quality/price) in choosing its products, and there is no question whatever that AMD equipped PC's are better value, speed for speed, than Intel Insides. It is the premia people pay for Intel that create the high margins that make Intel's monster profits (and our huge dividends!). It is a fact that AMD manufactures chips, and I, for one, am delighted that they are found in COSTCO's knocked-down, $200-off PCs rather than in higher-priced top-of-the-line business PCs that earn Intel its profits.
