Dell May Try AMD Chips For Some Servers
LarsWestergren writes "According to InfoWorld, Dell may be close to adopting AMD processors. Don't get your hopes up too early though. It is mainly for servers (and possibly "gaming"?) since AMD doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to supply Dell with enough processors for the desktop. Furthermore, Dell have said similar things before, possibly to put pressure on Intel and get better deals from them. Still, this is definitely a PR win for AMD." Intel, though, has a lot more ad dollars to contribute.
You're new around here, aren't you?
AMD ofice has a grave in the front lawn saying Intel Inside . Looks like finally its gonna come true
You probably liked the "Dude, you're going to Hell" advertisements, too.
Ya because we all know those dell gaming systems would run games just kick ass if they had Linux or FreeBSD. For a lot of Dell's customers, there is no alternative to Windows.

In the bigger picture, this is the next step in the commodization of computers. This process is making them cheap as toilet paper [...]
And you can run Windows on them to match the strength of toilet paper.
