The first five service calls a White Box vendor gets with a crashed AtHWiper Server will be enough to for that vendor to revert to being an ALL INTEL house again. Are you basing this on an opinion that systems with an Intel processor are much more reliable then those with an AMD processor, or just that people will have less patience with the normal level of unreliability if it comes from an AMD system because it doesn't have the reputation that Intel had. (i.e. if the Intel system crashes its "oh well these things happen", but if the AMD system crashes its "you idiot you bought something different and now it doesn't work")? Personally I see no more unreliability from AMD then I do from Intel but I suspect that the second factor that I mentioned may be significant when dealing with servers. Tim
