Peter, Re: <There are actually [this week or next week] four big PC promotions running in Germany:>

Thanks for the post -- Excellent news. AMD's surely getting a better 'push' in Germany now than in the US. I'm glad to see it. They look like good boxes at real right prices.

Peter,

Thanks very much for your post, it explains a big chunk of the "missing" Athlon sales.

Regards,

Dan

Peter, re: "ALDI sold 300 000 of these underperforming PCs within a few days"

This seems like a lot of PCs... about 0.8% of all CPUs sold by AMD+Intel in a quarter.

Does everyone in Germany buy their PCs from grocery stores? <g>

Thanks for the info and context of the German offerings.
