Elmer, RE:"I doubt that. My Intel friends tell me they don't get any discounts on Intel processors or MBs. Why would Intel offer BB employees something their own employees don't get?".... You can't doubt it all you want. It's fact. I don't know how far back it started by I know AMD started it with K6-2s and a MSI mobo and then Intel followed with Pentium IIs and a mobo...now AMDs back at it. Actually it's good advertising as most people are led to a machine by a sales person at these stores. Jim
