They got taken down with other retails but my feeling is that they will do better than the other chains because of Athlon.

>>Check this out for a lopsided INTC vs. AMD add-space at the biggest computer retail chain in the US<< There could be several explanations for this: 1. AMD machines are selling so fast that the store made the decision to advertise them even more. 2. AMD machines are selling so slow that the store made the decision to advertise them even more. 3. There are no Intel machines to sell because of Intel supply constraints, so the store decided to advertise what they DO have even more. 4. There are plenty of Intel machines and they are selling so fast relative to the AMD machines that they don't need to be advertised as much. Several other possibilities come to mind, but these are the most likely to me. Which of these do you believe is the most likely? Or what other explanation makes more sense to you? Regards, Frank
