You mean no AMD?

--- Did you really expect intel to pay for a computer with an AMD chip? Are you serious? Do you think there are any intel computers sitting on the desks of AMD employees? Doesn't make sense, does it.

Niceguy767 over at SI asks two questions:

--- Well, let's just put aside for a moment the fact that really don't give a damn what "To The MOON" Cheerleader Niceguy says....

1. Do you suppose that INTC, with their $1,000 employee computer purchase incentive, shunned HPQ in favour of DELL, owing to the "rumoured" HPQ's participation in the A64 launch on Sept 23?

--- No

2. Do you think that AMD will release an A64 mobile on Sept. 23?

--- No

Semi, One thing Intel employees won't get from Dell is an Opteron, but I guess they can always get Itanium ii. <heh>

--- Ha..... I don't believe that anyone can get an Itanium system for $1k, and I also don't think they'll be able to get an Opteron system for 1K either, so the point is probably moot. Thanks for the laugh.
