In an effort to compete with Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard, IBM is expected to announce Tuesday it will expand its line of servers powered by chips from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

IBM, of Armonk, N.Y., already sells low-end servers with AMD’s Opteron chips, so the move will allow the company to offer more choice in its high-end, commercial line.

IBM would not confirm the details, but said its systems division, responsible for designing servers and chips, would announce new products and partnerships in "our biggest announcement of the year," according to IBM spokeswoman Joanna Brewer.

BTW, you other thread today has been locked --- you are now up to 28 threads locked and unknown number simply deleted. Great value.
You added no value to this thread yourself. Great Job.

As for IBM, I'm surprised they have not expanded their Opteron line-up long ago. IBM was one of the first companies to jump on Opteron, but for some odd reason they didn't push the platform much at all.
