Paul, Re: "Best Buy - has a page for desktop systems - listing 29 Units on sale - EVERY ONE OF THEM WITH ANINTEL PROCESSOR !!!" Thanks for posting that. I wonder why Peter_luc doesn't include this along with his multiple posts of K&M Elektroniks over on the Mod Squad thread. The truth must hurt, eh? Wait a sec... oh darn, there is an AMD system on the list. Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Desktop with AMD Athlon™ Processor 1.3GHz — 7935 AMD Athlon™ processor 1.3GHz, with AMD 3DNow!™ technology; Windows XP Home Edition; 128MB SDRAM; 40.0GB hard drive; CD-RW drive ThinkAbout™ It Compare $749.99 Another Major Victory for AMD, right? wbmw

Best Buy - has a page for desktop systems - listing 29 Units on sale - EVERY ONE OF THEM WITH AN INTEL PROCESSOR !!! That is really good news. When the biggest retail outlet for PCs starts selling Intel only (well best buy is getting close to that), it confirms how strong the trend is with Intel. Maybe they want to put in a token AMD system just to give people a choice. The reality is consumers are willing to pay a bit more for Intel chips--that is just the reality no matter how comparable the AMD chips are. Best Buy's ads are just a reflection of consumer preferences.
