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).'"

  5. Hot Deal on Dells by gulfan · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    For those of you that live in Canada, or are interested in importing Dell Canada has a fantastic deal running right now on the Dimension 2400. For $299 plus tax the system features a Celeron 2.4GHz, 256MB RAM, Windows XP Home, and an 80GB hard drive. Considering that a full copy of XP would cost you $100 by itself, this is an awesome deal! Shipping is also included in the price. This would be a great deal for those of you who want to keep your children away from your main workstation.

    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!"
