bmw I do not believe that it is that clear cut. Yes, IBM dropped amd but dell does not have better luck with intel only either. As far as expense reduction then I think that it is a complete bs given that dell systems are overpriced to begin with. Regards -Albert

RE:"I don't think anyone is considering adding a little bit of anything right now. If you've been paying attention, IBM and Micron announced that they dropped AMD in order to simplify their product lines. If Dell were to add an AMD sku or two, they would increase the complexity of their system. It's either all or nothing if Dell decides to go with AMD, and 1,000,000:1 says it's nothing." About the only reason I could see Dell going with AMD at this time is that for some strange reason they are thinking about combating X-box with AMD+nForce... And that's a real long shot... Jim
