Dell however, wont put the AMD chips into desktop PCs, Rollins said.

AMD's shares rose by 74 cents.

Dell is and always will be blowing smoke. Intel has a grip on them and they arent letting go anytime soon. It would take a huge failing on intel's part for dell to consider amd. ill be the first to be amazed if it does go amd soon, but i really doubt it for 'political reasons'. dell certainly doesnt want to anger intel.

I think Dell is talking like this to threat Intel

Why AMD still can't make enough CPU's to meet Dell's demands.

Dell is demanding with thier quality products, don't you think.
How could AMD ever contend with that, is beyond me.

thats very overblown there.

amd could easily handle thier opteron orders for example. sure they couldnt covere every pc line dell has, but why owuld dell evne put amd on everything? evne fi they go amd, it will still largely use intel parts in its systems. but im sure amd could provide plenty of opterons, and even fx's for some high end systems.

you seem to think its all or nothing, but thats not the case.
