PB, GTW dropped AMD earlier because AMD somehow failed in living up to its won supply commitments when it had the GTW business. Maybe Gateway has now learned not to put all their processors in one basket. Maybe they will put some Athlons aside for a rainy day. A motherboard saved is a motherboard earned.

PB, re:Other posters have indicated to me that GTW dropped AMD earlier because AMD somehow failed in living up to its won supply commitments when it had the GTW business. Do you disagree? AMD failing to meet it's commitments to GTW put them in bad terms with GTW for a while. But, this was not the main reason why GTW dropped AMD. By the time GTW dropped AMD there were no supply problems from AMD. IMHO, it's the $20M ransom (which was one of the Intel's acts to do with it's scrambling in reaction to Athlon and GTW+Athlon) from INTC made GTW to drop AMD. Goutama
