yourbankruptcy, do you think eMachines had a dissapointing Christmas? I suspect not. The two companies mentioned were Dell and HP. Not many 64-bit desktops sold by those two this past quarter!

eMachines can't seem to keep their retailers stocked with machines, and they focus on AMD sales. Now, the absolute numbers on A64 are not big, but I wonder if we are seeing mindshare and pullthrough to the AXP systems.

All will soon be known.

Mark my words, when Doom III finally comes we will see a pop.

A lot of big games that beg for computing power were delayed into 2004. Doom III and Half Life 2 are the biggest two. Far Cry is another one.

I agree there will be some upgrades coming in Q1-Q2 for many gamers. That is good for a few million mid to high end systems. A lot of people may only upgrade video cards though. Half Life 2 and Far Cry are two games that will have optimizations for A64, so that may bode well for AMD.
