Cringe-A-Lot - Re: " HP and Intel haven't been getting along lately,"
Here's another example - from TODAY's PRESS RELEASES - that shows how dumb you are to believe what you read in the YUK Register.
HP Increases Firepower of Popular HP Kayak XU PC Workstations, Announces Availability Of 500MHZ And 550MHZ Pentium III Xeon-based Models
These are WORKSTATION products, Cringe ! Pentium III XEON based !
Kinda funny that HP seems to know more about HP's relationship with Intel than the YUK Register knows about HP's relationship with Intel.
Kinda makes you CRINGE, doesn't it Cringe?
