Dan, Apple actually named AMD's 64-bit chip as part of the agreement put in place two years ago so that they could use the commercial with the Woman in running shorts throwing a Hammer at the screen that represented "me too" computing. LOL. Unfortunatelly, I see the AMD rumors as such a long shot, possibly at about the same probability as Dell starting to use AMD. On a more positive note, I stopped by Circuit City this weekend, and found a lot more Athlon based machines. About 5 from Compaq, 1 from HP (prominently displayed), one from E-machines. This is from about 20 to 25 machines. Unfortunately, Sony desktop line is again all Intel. 2 of about 10 notebooks were Athlon based. Percentage-wise, this is not anywhere close to the high from about a year ago, but higher than in the recent past. Joe
