Who do you think helped Intel develop and debug the 440 chipset? How about Klamath and Deschutes... how about BX and NX? If you think Dell just sits and waits for Intel to deliver, your wrong big time. Dell is one of the leaders in driving functionality, specs and compliance. Only a small percentage of Dell's designs use mature components, therfore, they are always developing new systems in locksetp with Intel's engineering sample dates. This means designing a system before A0 silicon arrives. No easy task my friend. This requires Dell to be a leader in simulation and Design Synthesis. Guess who's simulation department has a major impact on Intel's RDDP (Recommended Design and Debug Practices) and Layout guidelines? Guess who becomes the benificiary of this info besides Dell? Compaq, Gateway, HP, IBM etc... albiet after Dell. Dell's technological contributions to the industry as well as their engineering greatness go entirely unnoticed by the non-technical. You know nothing. MEATHEAD
