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.

    Yeah, I said, 'Momma, he's crazy and he scares me
    But I want him by my side
    Though he's wild in bed and sometimes just plain mad
    I need him to keep me satisfied'

    I said, 'Papa, don't cry cause it's alright
    And I see you in some of his ways
    Though he might not give me the love that you wanted
    I'll love him the rest of my days'

    Misguided angel hangin' over me
    Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
    Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece a lead
    Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

    I said, 'Brother, speak to me of passion
    You said never to settle for nothin' less
    Well, it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks
    His smile, his anger and his kisses'

    Yeah, I said, 'Sister, don't you understand?
    He's all I ever wanted in a man
    I'm tired of sittin' round the TV every night
    Hoping I'm finding a Mister Right'

    Misguided angel hangin' over me
    Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
    Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece a lead
    Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

    He says, 'Baby, don't listen to what they say
    There comes a time when you'll have to break away'
    He says, 'Baby, there are things we all cling to all our lives
    It's time to let them go and become my wife'

    Misguided angel hangin' over me
    Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
    Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece a lead
    Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

    Don't get your hopes up too early though.

    Ok, I won't.

    Uhhh, why on earth would I care one way or the either? Why would my hopes be raised?

    I have had some very positive experiences with Ubuntu Linux recently. It seems powerful, configurable, yet easy to install for newer users. They also have a billionaire backing them, so their future seems fairly assured.
