While Leonard didn't answer the question directly, there was enough info to see why there are no AMD-based systems there. HP and IBM look to be their major suppliers, and their offerings are very limited when it comes to AMD (the phrase "token support" comes to mind). AFAIK, Dell (the other major HW vendor) doesn't offer any AMD-based systems. I also think the previous response of dead right re: standard system configurations.
Particularly re: workstations and servers, AMD has just screwed things up royally. Their MP tech has a great deal of potential (especially re: each CPU's available bandwidth), but we are only now seeing dual CPU MBs . . . So. Even even if DreamWorks had wanted to use AMD-based workstations, they wouldn't have been able to.
BTW, the only MP AMD-based system that I've seen if from pogolinux.

One sentence summary of link: 802.11b not yet ready for the bleeding-edge averse enterprise IT manager (anyone know a CIO/CTO who digs deploying bleeding-edge stuff?), but there are ways to make it work for smaller organizations.
