For the Dell/AMD doubters

[brainysmurf]

Not that I would buy this myself, but I include this for those still casting doubt on how serious Dell is about going AMD.
Received in the mail today at my office a Dell mass mailing trumpeting the AMD option. No mention of Intel anywhere on the card:

In big letters: "It's all about CHOICE."

This is kinda old news. It's been known for over a month that Dell was going to start using AMD in some of their systems.

Ahhh mais je t'offre mais sincere sympathy. Dieux ne t'a pas fait hommage quand il a decider de te coupler avec le plus petit p*nis imagineable. C'est correct car il n'a pas arrete l'a. Il t'a aussi couple avec le plus petit cerveau de tous les especes dans le royaumes des animaux.

Seriously, this thread is garbage and the poster has just lost all credibility... WHO CARES???

Post this on AMDNews' Forums or something.

Please guys, enough with the translators.

I am going to clarify my position on Dell: They are GREAT for super cheapo systems, and maybe laptops. Otherwise it's better to build it yourself.
