Its not about how good Dell pc's are.. Dell is the single largest supplier of computers in the world. This will give AMD a huge boost, and more money to pool into creating great processors.

I've been waiting for a LONG time to see this! Good news... I'm not going to buy a Dell, but there are millions of people who do, and maybe they'll get some more PC knowledge and not go: "What kind of Pentium do you have in your PC?"...
