About eMachines, I've said once that they run one netebook model using XP-M 2500. I was trying to find this part on pricewatch and there is no! You can't buy it except if you go to eBay. Which proves very special relationships between A and E, closely mimicing the I and D bedroom affair.


Edit: see this chip on eBay for $94 and 10 bids posted:

"They aren't going to outcompete Dell using Intel parts."

Probably not, but it by no means is certain. Last time, Gateway was praising AMD for the increase in their business and were actuallying acquiring Athlon MP parts before they dumped them. True, Terry was probably drinking a purple tea and talking with cows, but still...

The way I look at it AMD is the horse that brought Inouye to GTW. Having won the golden ring on the green horse, there’s little incentive for him to change horses now that he’s setting the pace for the combined company. The loser in all this has got to be Dell, having associated itself completely with a company that is being viewed more and more as not being competitive on either a design or production basis. The actions by HP, announced yesterday, are proof that the Emachines AMD policy was working. HP had the ability to switch horses, Dell is riding the same old nag to the glue factory.
