Dell Rejects AMD Chips (again)

Posted by Zonk on from the intel-offers-them-cookies dept.

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).'"

    I'm seriously considering finishing all my sentences/expressions/statements with an insult. Gonna see how many friends I have after a week or two of that.

    Example:
    "I actually prefer aged cheddar to marble. Fuckstick."

    Like, holy crap dude! Are you familiar with the term "antisocial"? Have you seen Napoleon Dynamite? "Geez, idiot!"
