Re: "that GTW got benefits for buying exclusively from intc." I just checked Gateway's site, and I can buy systems with AMD processors in them. Exclusively from Intel? Your source may not be accurate. Mike

Tejerk - Re: " Its alleged in the article that GTW got benefits for buying exclusively from intc." I'm sure they will benefit form VOLUME DISCOUNTS by ordering all their CPUs from Intel - as opposed to splitting the orders between AMD and Intel. They should also benefit by getting near-guaranteed delivery from Intel - as opposed to "if and when available delivery" from AMD. Delivery is important when you are in business to make a profit. AMD doesn't have such constraints - as you know. Paul
