Chuckles - Look slike AMD has LOST its competitive edge ! No wonder you AMDroids are in PANICSVILLE over the ATHLON (lack of) sales ! Intel now DOMINATES THE LOW END ! From that article: infobeads.com "What is even more surprising than how quickly sub $600-PCs have grown is who is behind this growth. AMD and Cyrix had, in the past, been behind the low cost market. But today it is Intel leading the way in low-cost PCs. Desktops with Intel CPUs accounted for over 45% of July unit sales within the sub-$600 retail desktop market. AMD accounted for less than 29%. Not surprisingly, the leading PC vendor in this category is eMachines, which recently announced that it will be putting Intel CPUs in the majority of its systems. "
