Doug: CPQ has been using a Via chispet in some of their Deskpro series (since about six mths. if I am not wrong) already. From a technical standpoint it is easy to switch between the intel processor solution to AMD with a Via chipset. Both are supported (unlike intel PCI chipset that only supprts intel, duh!). However, I would not bet on CPQ going for AMD micro-Ps if what you say is true: i.e. no volume due to low yield chez AMD. Take care for now Kai
