Intel giving up on Dell? Not entirely, of course, but since the Dell model appears to be stalling - actually losing market share to the white box makers - Intel is shifting support to the whitebox makers that are stealing share from Dell: Intel Program Aids White-Box Builders Rolling out 60-day pilot to reduce inventory levels By Edward F. Moltzen CRN New York - 2:35 PM EST Fri., Mar. 22, 2002 Intel is moving to shore up its logistics to smaller distributors as part of a plan to assist a growing number of white-box builders that require same-day delivery on components.... The number of solution providers citing white-box PCs as their best-selling desktops jumped to its highest level ever of 55 percent in February, up from 40 percent in December, according to the CRN Monthly Solution Provider Survey.

Dan, Re: "Evidently AMD's been shipping Athlon 2.2GHZ parts to OEMs for a little while" I figured that you of all people would know the difference between QuantiSpeed and clock frequency (given that you advocate it all the time), but perhaps I am wrong. The link you offered referred to an (as in "one", "uno", "un", or "singular") advertisement of a 2200+ Athlon - not a 2.2GHz Athlon. There is no indication that the vendor even has these parts to ship - only that they have begun advertising. FWIW, there was also a 2.4GHz system in the advertisement, and that hasn't been released, either. Sounds like this is just a case of an eager VAR jumping the gun a little. Sorry if you were hoping that the .13u Athlons were shipping on time. I know that I'd like to see them shipping, too, but this doesn't seem to indicate that in the least. wbmw

Dan3 - Re:"Evidently AMD's been shipping Athlon 2.2GHZ parts to OEMs for a little while, at least, and no one knew..." Even an avid Droid is confused with ModelHurtz. The rumor is for a Model 2200+ which actually runs at what 1.72 GHz. You are a perfect example of AMD deception at work. But the deception only works for AMDroids and others easily deceived.
