Chuckles - Re: "Is that why you are still holding on to AMD? Don't expect world domination. You will be disappointed "

That makes two us, Chuckie !!

Re: "You think Best Buy already ordered all they need for Christmas? "

Yes - I assume they have. Do you expect Best Buy to order PCs from IBM on Dec 23 for their Dec 24'th BLoW-OUT SALE ?

Re: "IBM is building for retail through Christmas season. Retailers will order as their demand dictates"

Do you KNOW IBM'S LEAD TIMES ? Even DELL's lead times can be 7 to 21 days !!! I would assume that IBM must have 4 to 6 week lead times, assuming NO INTERRUPTIONS - such as AMD chip set unavailability !
