Carl - RE: "Actually, Intel does have competition in corporate for desktop. Corporations do buy computers from screwdriver shops, and AMD is well represented in that market." I'm talking the big OEMs where the big money is. Compaq, Gateway, and HP all offer Athlons in consumer PCs mainly, but not in their business PCs yet. AMD has said something like they expect to enter this market this year. Maybe OEMs are waiting for the 760 chipset... Gateway sells Athlons in their small business PCs, but that's not really a corporate PC. "In fact, the Athlons make very good workstations for engineers due to their floating point performance." Yeah, but too bad the Athlon, even though it has a fast 200MHz fsb, is crippled with PC133 SDRAM and single processor systems. 760 MP should fix this. Gotta get to the 760 based chipsets... (TM Jim?)
