Youngang, re:Last year Big Blue's personal systems
division, which makes desktops and servers, suffered a $992 million loss largely due to
price competition."

And where do you think there is more price competition, the consumer or business space??? Yup, the consumer space. That's my point. The only reason IBM and CPQ goes with AMD is to get a better price for their chips. Not a very good busness model. In the business space, companies can compete on features other than price....that's why there is no AMD chips there, btw.

joey
