Albert, Re: "IBM dropped amd but dell does not have better luck with intel only either."

Considering that Dell has been stealing market share from all the other computer manufacturers, I'd say it's quite easy to claim that Dell is having better luck being all Intel. Maybe you can offer some data comparing IBM's operating costs before and after dumping AMD to see if they've had a similar improvement.

Albert,

Re: "Yes, IBM dropped amd but dell does not have better luck with intel only either."

Albert, you are losing what ever "credibility" that you had here with
statements like that. Dell has faired much better than IBM or Compaq.
They're gaining PC market share ... IBM specifically pointed out in their
decision to drop AMD, the cost advantage of just using one processor supplier.

Make It So,
Yousef
