Tony, Re: "Getting completely behind Intel on the Celeron product and the Pentium III, rather than AMD, seems to have paid off big-time for Compaq."

Maybe I don't understand this correctly (English is my second language) but this statements looks like he is thinking Compaq orders Celerons and P3s from Intel instead of AMD. If he really does think so, he doesn't have any clue. If he doesn't, he still doesn't have any clue because Compaq is currently selling more AMD systems than ever. They are already selling 1.1 GHz Thunderbirds (down to 800 MHz) and Duron systems are expected for the holiday season.

Just look at Compaqs online order page:

athome.compaq.com

There are five different product lines available, two are AMD only, two are Intel only, one is mixed AMD and Intel. Intel systems go up to 1.0 GHz, AMD up to 1.1 GHz. Looks like a 50:50 distribution for me.

Tony,
RE:"The top-selling models of Compaq, Young noted, all are powered by chips from Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), which won't please the Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) fedayeen that populate ZDNet message boards.

"It's really a huge Intel bet that Compaq is making," Young said. "Getting completely behind Intel on the Celeron product and the Pentium III, rather than AMD, seems to have paid off big-time for Compaq.""

This Young guy is a real piece of work. Now he wants to start a Jihad.

Can Bichette power the Red Sox past Cleveland to the wildcard? That is the question...

Tony,

I read this morning 100% of Compaq systems above 1Ghz are AMD.

Tony Viola. Re: fedayeen (These "heroes" were Arab terrorists, or fedayeen ("one who sacrifices himself"). I took that out of my post 'cause I had no idea what "fedayeen" meant. Thanx for the enlightenment. It sure fits.
