BTW, AMD did use some xeons at one time. Also, M$ has some linux mixed into its server scheme for the last virus patch. But, I can see how letting the employees "choose Wrong" is not somthing Intel would be graceful enough to handle. :-)


I do recall some pictures in the Register when AMD was starting up Dresden, of Intel Desktop computers on some of the desks, but there's a difference between being "Graceful" and being "Stupid". If anyone did choose an AMD system, they certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to announce it to anybody, and for intel it would be a Public Relations disaster. No smart employee, or company is going to do that. AMD maybe.... Intel, no.

I didn't know they weren't allowed to spend more than the 1k.

An Intel employee can spend more than $1K. They do need to pay for anything over $1K.
