Dell has decided to include AMD's Opteron processor in its product line of servers. This is the first time Dell has used AMD chips within its own Dell branded products (excluding the recently acquired Alienware computers)." From the News.com article: "The deal appears to be confined to servers at this point. The news came along with the release of Dell's earnings results, which were in line with the disappointing warning the company provided last week. Revenue was $14.2 billion, up 6 percent from last year, but net income slid 18 percent to $762 million. Several times during the last few years, Dell CEO Kevin Rollins has hinted that the company was right around the corner from introducing products based on AMD's chips.

Interesting speculation. Now if only Apple would pick up on their lead.

Is it just me or is Computers/Networking the forum where the dumbest flame wars start?

Ex:

"ZOMG IPODS R TEH SUCK!"
"Excuse me sir, but I KNOW how to implement security on a corporate network of over 10,000 computers. Eat shit and die."

I mean, if you're going to get into a giant argument, at least make it over something important.

hey, for the record, i locked the ipod thread because it was getting retarded. YOU guys wanted it unlocked.
