Well now that Intel isn't going to be paying them to sell their processors, whats going to happen to Dell? I remember in that huge thread about the NY case, someone posted a link to an article that said most of Dell's profit apparently came from these payments from intel, so iv'e been wondering if there going to start losing money.

Dell will hardly be a great loss to the PC industry - apart from the Intel parts they are not exactly great machines.

There are plenty of other PC / Laptop makers that will sell you something better for barely anymore cash.

I really doubt Dell was making profits solely on Intel's payments, they will still make profit, but just in lesser amounts.
