Joey,
RE:" One analyst basically said he thought there was a good chance CPQ would go with AMD chips for this segment."

----

Was that Analyst Tom Quak-Quak by chance?

It would have been nice to see some AMD chips but since this SOHO direct market is new to CPQ, Intel has the established base and Dell and Gateway use Intel chips...it appears that CPQ would be chancing it too much in the beginning. Besides, AMD is capacity restrained right now...
