<<The Houston company last week unveiled a road map for small and medium-size businesses that includes ProSignia
notebooks using chips from Advanced
Micro Devices Inc. Officials are also
considering AMD processors for
ProSignia desktops and servers.

"All of our development groups are
looking at [using AMD chips]," said

Lisa Baker, director of product
marketing in the commercial business
unit, which includes all ProSignia
products. That includes AMD's
forthcoming K7 processor, she added.

How well the AMD-based ProSignia
notebook fares "will help us make
decisions for other platforms," said
Emily Campbell, product marketing
manager for ProSignia notebooks.>>

This is really a bullish statement in support of AMD.

Intel has long been alienating the other chip makers. Building
support chips for Intel processors may mean that Intel will put
you out of business when they build there own chips.

AMD to date has built support chips for K7 but have turned over the
design data to other chip makers in advance. Clearly developing a community of chip makers.
