Dell Rejects AMD Chips (again)
LarsWestergren writes "A few months ago Slashdot reported that Dell was considering using AMD for server CPUs, but most people rightly remained sceptical since Dell has announced this several times before and always backed out. Well, according to the Register you were right to be sceptical." From the article: "Dell, however, doesn't seem concerned by these pricing issues or the fact that Opteron outperforms Xeon on numerous benchmarks. 'We believe that Intel has responded,' Rollins said in the wire report. 'That is now beginning to put customers more at ease that they don't need to make a shift (to AMD).'"
Dell opts for mediocrity (again!), and it's a news story?

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
It's Dell. They make inferior computers for people who don't know anything beyond how to turn it on. Their customers probably think Intel is better becuase they have more name recognition. Besides, how many of the ignorant masses would know the difference.
