<However lots of business have 100 employees and less, particularly those in hi-tech. These guys are very price/performance sensitive. So I think you will find that AMD will have an increased penetration into the business market.> Well, can't argue with you there. If AMD is going to make inroads into business, they'll have to start with the small businesses. But who's to say that these small business aren't buying sub-$1000 K6-2 boxes already? <As far as Super & vs BX/FX/TX I really don't think this is an issue.> I could be wrong, but my impression is that there aren't any Super 7 motherboards out there that cater to the enterprise market. Most of them are geared towards the retail sub-$1000 box market, because the K6-2 is geared towards this market as well. Only the OEMs know for sure how many customer service calls they get between AMD and Intel-based systems. But from the very sporadic reports I've seen, Intel systems are less likely to be returned than AMD systems. Like I said before, I could be wrong, so you have every right to flame me if I am.
