Don't know how long Brett Miller has been at A G Edwards, but this firm previously upgraded DELL when the stock was right around $56 on 03-14-00 and did not turn around and downgrade until 6 months later when the stock had dropped to $30. I bet customers following that advice were thrilled with their accuracy. History clearly indicates that A G Edward's has no clue which way this stock is moving.

Tuesday August 14, 11:50 am Eastern Time TheStandard.com IBM Dumps AMD Chips From North American PCs By IDG Advanced Micro Devices lost some ground in its evolving price war with Intel as IBM said it will drop AMD's Athlon microprocessors in PCs sold in North America. IBM had offered AMD chips as a build-to-order option for consumer models, but discontinued the AMD option in May. The IBM NetVista A40i consumer PC will no longer offer the AMD processor as an option and will only be sold with an Intel chip, said Anouk Bikkel, an IBM spokeswoman in Europe. IBM hopes to make its NetVista offering more clearly defined to customers by making it all Intel-based, she said. ADVERTISEMENT Before IBM decided to drop AMD chips as an option, Dell Computer was the only vendor among the four top-selling PC makers that did not offer such chips. Along with IBM and Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer are the four leading PC makers in terms of sales. Dell made some exploratory gestures regarding AMD chips when it asked customers about preferences in a June online poll. Both Compaq and HP make extensive use of AMD Athlon and Duron processors in consumer PCs. A recent report by Lehman Brothers Holdings chip analyst Dan Niles said Intel plans to detonate a "price bomb" later this month, slashing prices on its high-end Pentium 4 processors by about 50 percent to take market share from AMD. biz.yahoo.com
