Dave,

re:Xbox-AMD

As I remember............

It was leaked that AMD was to be the CPU. A demo at a show had an AMD CPU inside.

The Xbox logo was and still is green.
:)

At the last moment MS announced Intel was to be the chip.

AMD countered by saying they were not going to give their processors away.

IMHO Intel gave the CPUs to MS at any cost, just so AMD would not get the business.
