Dell has been clear in their 'Intel only' policy. If they go into lower cost machines they will probably use celery ('celeron') to do it. They have enough stroke with Intel to get the deal they need to make a low price product work, if they want to go there. I would ne very surprised to see non-intel HW from Dell.

There's a risk in buying anything other than INTC. Most software is tested on the INTC based processors. Example: I know a guy that bought an AMD processor. He's sorry he did. Some software hugh his system, and others didn't work. He had to go back to the INTC processor. Mike
