Re: I get the feeling that AMD is giving Dell bigger discounts for pushing AMD harder.

This has been my assumption all along.

Re: WRT the X2 5600+ vs E6600 issue in the E520/E521 line - I've
always wondered if that's due to cost or if it's due to other
issues. With the E6600 coming in at parity next week

The E6600 comes in parity with the 6000+. It's actually quite a bit faster than the 5600+. See this review for details.
