Goutama, As you noted, the article said, "AMD said Pionex Technologies, a closely held PC maker in Somerset, New Jersey, also agreed to use Athlon processors. Pionex plans to use Athlons in machines sold to corporations, a market that AMD has been trying to crack." Here is their website, pionex.com They are much bigger than I though and it is indeed a nice win for AMD, It seems that they are bigger than Micron! here is a bit from their site, ----------------------------------------------- Pionex Technologies, Inc., has grown rapidly in the decade since its founding to become one of the East Coast's largest manufacturers of brand name computers.

Headquartered in Somerset, NJ, Pionex has manufacturing, sales and distribution sites worldwide, including over 500,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities. In order to quickly adopt, market and distribute emerging technologies, Pionex maintains long-standing relationships with industry leaders such as Intel, Novell and Microsoft as well as other top component and peripheral manufacturers. New components are tested by over 50 engineers in an in-house research and development center, which also serves as a beta site for the industry's newest products.
