Fujitsu/Siemens T-BIRD PCs with Intel Inside: Today a flyer from Saturn (Germany's version of Best Buy) was flying into my house. One thing was catching my eye: On the front page they were advertising a Fujitsu/Siemens PC system called "T-BIRD 8650-40". However, they are selling it with a PIII 866MHz inside ! There was also another system called "T-BIRD 8620-20" also with a PIII 866MHz inside ! Honestly, would you call an Intel system like that ? It could be a sign that they are running out of AMD Athlon processors and have to equip the boxes now with Intel processors. On the other hand, only a few days ago I saw a Fujitsu/Siemens PC 1GHz AMD systems advertised in another shop's flyer. What do you think ? It could also be that they are running out of cases for their Intel systems and have to use the AMD cases instead :-)....... By the way, they were also advertising a P4 1,4 GHz system without monitor for ~US$ 2800,- . No AMD in this flyer.
