Still, a vendor would need to carry inventory from two different suppliers....

Also, Intel offers high volume production. With AMD, you never know how many chips you will be able to receive

Dan, Re: "Intel uses differenct sockets for PIII, PIII Xeon, P4, P4 423, P4 Xeon, and Itanium."

Now that PIII, PIII Xeon, and P4 423 are being obsoleted, Intel will be down to supporting three socket interfaces. Granted that this is 3x as many as AMD right now, but once they introduce Hammer, they will have to support three as well.

Dan, <AMD uses one socket for Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron, and Athlon MP.>

Once Hammer comes out, add two more sockets to support: one for Claw, and one for Sledge.

If the world is going to beat a path to AMD's door, it's NOT going to be due to the single-socket strategy.
