"What you're saying is GTW wouldn't take Athlons unless AMD gave them away. I guess IBM wouldn't either, or Micron, or...???" Yes, exactly. dave

" I guess IBM wouldn't either, or Micron, or...???" When did MicronPC stop selling AMD? Have you told them?

"What you're saying is GTW wouldn't take Athlons unless AMD gave them away. I guess IBM wouldn't either, or Micron, or...???" It is very likely that major producers would not use AMD chips EVEN IF THEY WERE FREE. A customer who doesn't want an "AMD Inside" machine, or who has seen the reports that AMD processors catch on fire when the heatsinks are dislodged, will ignore the line of "AMD Inside" machines at Fry's or Best Buy and instead go to the Intel-based PCs.
