I have never seen a case where Dell was short on chips while others CPQ, HP, etc. got supplied in full I'm pretty sure that happened in 3Q on Xeons. BTW Intel also does not mind socking it to HP despite the merced partnership...

Elonex sues Dell,Micron, Packard Bell over patents December 10, 1998 6:19 PM EST WILMINGTON, Del., Dec 10 (Reuters) -Elonex I.P. Holdings Ltd. and Elonex Plc sued Micron Electronics Inc (Nasdaq: MVEI), Dell Computer Corp (Nasdaq: DELL), and Packard Bell NEC Inc, an affiliate of NEC Corp <6701.T >, in three virtually identical patent lawsuits, according to court filings. In papers filed Wednesday, Dec. 9, in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, Elonex said it owns two patents for a "low-power- consumption monitor standby system" which reduces the power usage of computer monitors during inactive periods. Elonex said in the lawsuits that the patents are "consistent" with a voluntary power management standard set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry participants. "A typical color monitor without power management features may consume a majority of the electrical energy consumed by a personal computer," court papers said. The increasing number of personal computers makes them "significant consumers of electrical power." The lawsuits seek injunctions that would block the defendant companies from further alleged infringement and an award of unspecified damages tripled for alleged willful infringement. No one at Dell's Round Rock, Texas offices or Packard Bell's Sacramento, California headquarters could be reached for comment. A spokeswoman in Micron's Nampa, Idaho, offices declined comment. REUTERS
