Michael Dell on AMD-----From LA Times interview,Q&A--->March.08,99-->

scott:
This is what MD told LA times in Today's edition:-

Q: You're one of the few remaining companies without chips from Advanced Micro Devices. That's one way to go lower. Is that something you're going to consider?

A: I'm not sure that's really the answer. We're seeing chips from Intel that are priced very, very close to, if not exactly the same as, AMD chips. There's also the question of what is the cost [in Dell's configuring overhead] of having multiple architectures running at the same time. We're also trying to strike a balance here in providing customers with a machine that's going to last over a useful lifetime. . . . Microsoft's Windows 2000 is going to come out, and it's not going to run on those $500 computers. And these machines are not going to be used.
