Niceguy, Well at your implication that I twisted your comment I went back and reread your post, it appears that in mentioning your post I may have referred to your comment as an assertion that Dell needed A4 to maintain corporate mobile credibility when you actually referred to the more general terms of AMD product and generic corporate credibility. That small overextension was due to my reading your original post in primary reference to mobile A4 since that was the main thrust of the Dell rumor and was not an intentional twisting but I apologize anyway. Let me quote you word for word this time, with a full sentence so there will be no cries of context. "For Dell to maintain credibility in the corporate world, they are gonna need AMD product...No longer a question of if, but now a question of when!!!" My original assertion was only that I thought that statement was hilarious (and I still do) and that such a statement made no sense (and I still think that too) So you don't think there are any if's at all and it's just an issue of when huh? No if's at all then, not even any "minor" ones like IF any other top oem's offer corporate Athlon designs? Why would Dell be the only one to suffer loss of corporate credibility if no other vendor had Athlon's in any corporate designs??? I realize the HP A4 mobile is potentially (even probably) a corporate design but that would be the FIRST Athlon design and I think even if it's not the last it is still a far cry from the imminent and swift errosion of Dell's corporate credibility that you are so dogmatically asserting. What about IF Corporate IT will even buy AMD product in the first place. Please understand that I am personally convinced that they would but it is still an IF and a totally untested and unproven concept. You list 4 points in your reply to me, #1 is pure unsupported dogmatic assertion (a one liner) and the rest are simply statements about how great AMD's product line is. I agree, I like it too but having a great product line of which NONE of it is in the corporate designs of a top OEM is a far, far, cry from destroying the credibility of any oem who is in the good company of all of his largest competitors in not having a corporate design, Dell doesn't need the fastest systems they just need the fastest systems as compared to their competitors product lines, none of which have Athlon in a corporate design at this time. BTW, Repeating "Clean Kill" 20 times in a post will not bring Dell to it's knees. Epinephrine
