WBMW, Thats good. The way AMD share price has performed lately, I would have to salute your stance. It would apear that no one can successfully compete with either dell or intel. Though, I don't feel either deliver value as much as generally percieved. But, the concensus perception may be all that is relevent.

I built my 1200 athlon system. k7s5a, 128meg pc 2100, w2k. I like that I was able to get everything working even though I am not tec oriented. It has run without a blue screen for over a year. And, the one problem I had was due to very cold temp boot.

I have an engineer friend who has had intel in his portfolio for years. I was very surprized that he purchased a k6 in its day. He had a smile on his face and told me that AMD wrapped a $50 bill around every processor it shipped.

This Dell Centrino is unusually cheap, which makes it a superior solution to AMD. But most of other Centrino systems are priced between 2k and 3k, which makes them trailing to AMD-based offers in price/performance. I wonder how there are still customers ready to pay 3k for a notebook, while you can buy almost anything for 1.5k?

Who is making notebooks for Dell now? Acer? Toshiba?
