Hello Victor - This also surfaced on the Burke thread a couple hours ago. A few of us have posted on it, check out the thread if you are interested. In a nutshell, stupid move for CPQ in my opinion, EP has enough fight on his hands with Dell and the PC business, along with assimilating DEC and the E-commerce buys. Why on earth would CPQ want to take on the capital requirements of AMD's chip business, along with fighting Intel?

Regards,
John

Of course, Palmer is NOT on CPQ's BOD so that part of the scheme is a little weak. Aside from that, there would be zero traction for an AMD purchase - CPQ does not use AMD in either corporate desktops or enterprise products. The last thing CPQ needs is a money-losing boat anchor. I think we should start a rumor that CPQ will buy Coca-cola so that they can provide fee soft drinks on campus again...
