NVidia may be doing for AMD
what Dell has been doing for Intel. Particularly in the sense that Dell has been providing a successful configuration.

NForce 2, by integrating a complete set of the most frequently misconfigured components, will allow for matched drivers, easily maintained. These systems should be more stable, long term, than anything presently out there.

....Nforce 2 will also include a so-called Nvidia Communication suite, which includes Home PNA, FireWire up to 400MB/s, and USB 2.0 up to 480MB/s, as well as 10/100T Ethernet.

The Nforce 2 chipset also has a Dolby Digital interactive content encodeer, and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel audio, with a dedicated audio processing unit (APU) in MC2.

Dan,

Selling systems would be a lost cause for AMD. For some companies, this is all they do, and they still can't make money at it. I think AMD should help, instead of competing with these guys. Selling motherboards is just one idea. As Petz noted, AMD based notebooks are only now entering white-box market. AMD should make some resources available so that it doesn't take that long. Money spent would return in higher CPU (and chipset) sales.
