Ted re <<Gateway to up AMD chip usage to 50 percent>>

Boy, thanks for reposting part of that article. Since I no longer read all the posts, I completely missed it. I kept looking at the date to see if it was recent.

Also thanks to survivin for the initial post.

Ted and survivin... there is so much bull on this thread from the likes of Elmer, Yousef and Paul that it is easy to miss a post like survivin had earlier.

Message 13970855

A few things I would like to bring up:

Would this thread migrate to one that excludes Elmer, Yousef, and Paul? Honestly, after following this thread for almost a year now, I can honestly say I have garnered little useful information from those three. They are great time wasters and just piss me off. If you had not brought that post back up I may have missed it in filthy deluge that those three pour on us. Thanks survivin cause that was a great bit of information on Gateway moving towards a 50/50 split AMD to intel in their product line.

This was a excellent bit from survivin's post:

Swalwell points to Intel's continuing problems providing regular supplies of chips as a key factor for the move.
"You can't be reliant on a supplier that is that erratic," he says. "I think shortages have another six to twelve months to run."

<My comment: This sounds like something those intel guys would harp on maybe a year ago. Imagine that, Intel an unreliable supplier of chips. Who would have ever thought?>

Anyway what do you think?
