Keith - I'm not deeply surprised that AMD would be preferred in the Middle East over Intel, considering Intel's presence in Israel. Ask Coke and Ford about how their presences there went over in the Arab world. Back when I was over there(Saudi Arabia,'60s/'70s), there was no Ford presence, and Coke was replaced by a local knockoff, "Kaki-Cola". Nonetheless, it's good to hear that they additionally have good, solid business reasons to prefer AMD. :)
