Steve, Re: "RESEARCH ORGANISATION Gartner, which, we learn, numbers Intel amongst its hefty fee-paying customers, has come up with a statement urging large enterprises to "ignore" a selection of HP offerings sporting AMD chips." What's the insinuation here? That Intel had to do with this? It looks like Paul Hales from The Inquirer has it all wrong. The article was actually an endorsement for AMD with small and medium sized businesses. That's why it was titled: HP's New Low-Price PC Should Interest Small Businesses. The article actually said that large businesses might want to reconsider buying these systems, since the price/performance doesn't justify increased "deployment, development, imaging and support costs". It's rather sad that the AMD Cheer Squad felt compelled to call a foul here. It would be sort of silly for Intel to discourage large corporate use of an Athlon system, and then turn around and encourage small businesses to adopt their competitor. AMDroids need to think before posting garbage. wbmw
