Tony - <The base HP system will come with a 500-MHz Intel Celeron processor,
64MB of RAM, a 4.3GB hard drive, CD-ROM drive, Web and word
processing software, a 15-inch monitor, speakers and 56K modem.

Doesn't HP also use AMD?>

Yes, HP does use AMD.

I heard this in passing today, and wondered what processor HP would offer with the base system. Cool.

I never would have imagined such a thing, i.e., labor contract offering of 100's of k's of Internet connections and associated hardware.

Cool.

Tony - Re: "Ford wires employees with PCs, Net
access. The base HP system will come with a 500-MHz Intel Celeron processor"

Besides being the corporate "preferred brand" of microprocessor, Intel was large vendor to Ford during the mid 1980's to the mid 1990's, selling them an embedded CPU and I/O chips that were the heart of their engine and emission control systems.

Thus, Ford and Intel have a long business relationship.
