IUMaestro Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 good to hear, alot of speculation though, nothing that sounds too solid.. however, one can expect microsoft to sue somebody over it (seriously, they prolly will fish up something to sue over) and of course - go AMD!

BTSchnarfy Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Dell & AMD They're already selling AMD procs because of "customer demand." I wonder how long it will take to actually see an AMD system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchuwato Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 woo! cyrix! Dell and AMD... That's like putting a McLaren Mercedes engine in a Trabant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Well, I think this would make me actually soften up on Dell a little bit, but I don't think it is ever going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_lag Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Well, I think this would make me actually soften up on Dell a little bit, but I don't think it is ever going to happen. 597153[/snapback] agreed, and if dell starts putting in AMD processors, this will be a major hit to intel, coarse none of this really matters to me cuz i build my systems, and only buy AMD. Go AMD!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Dell and AMD... That's like putting a McLaren Mercedes engine in a Trabant 597137[/snapback] lol Well, I think this would make me actually soften up on Dell a little bit, but I don't think it is ever going to happen. 597153[/snapback] Yeah, I've always hated Dell, even moreso than other prebuilt manufacturers because they're the only ones that has been insistent on being Intel-only (plus techsupport in India blows). Gateway used to be the same way, intel-only. Then they added AMD to their line, but like a year later, they were back to intel-only (I can only assume because of threats and increased pricing by intel). Luckily that didn't last long and they went back to supporting AMD, so I could go back to not hating them as much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 There have been rumors going around that AMD has been stockpiling chips so that they can fill the massive orders Dell makes on CPUs. This has gotten some resellers and distributers a bit peeved since they aren't getting their shipments and yet are still required to meet quotas. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Until then, everything is just speculation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
