Tecate:

HP has stated that they make more margin from their AMD lines than their Intel ones. Given that, they are more likely to buy even more AMD as it becomes available.

And this may not change even if P4s are priced real low, as the computers they are placed in lose more value than what HP pays less for the CPUs. Its a loss to HP if they pay $60 less for the CPU but, the computer that it is placed in loses $150 of its price. Even if Intel gave them away for free, HP still loses money on the "Deal".
