I, my wife and many of my customers have went over 3 years with XP and without a format and reinstall job. We sure could not do this with Windows 9x. It seems that XP has the ability to take a licking and keep on ticking, especially with the support of the patches, most of which are labeled as Security Updates to hide their real purpose. And what is their real purpose? T

So you are assuming that they only get great prices on CPUs and Windows? Why wouldn't they be getting vastly better prices than we do on all components given that they sell millions of times more product? T
RE: [H] Intel really starting to feel AMD's bite.
Well, honestly, I figure Dell gets cut a much bigger discount on all items, rather then just CPU alone. More then that, I figure items which can cost small OEMs big money (like a case PSU) are virtually nothing for Dell who does their own, Modems? Hard Drives? Dell often doesn't sell the new cutting edge, and I'm sure they load up on inventory overbuys on 120G etc. drives they pay very little on and so on. I don't think CPU is the only place they save money.

Doesn't this sound like Intel's CPU prices are going to be cut drastically to reduce that inventory??? Intel is simply losing the low end computer war. I am seeing Compaq's with AMD Sempron's now. For years we low volume OEM's have been subsidizing Dell and the other large computer manufacturers. Is there any way they could sell CPU's to Dell for $20.00 if they did not charge us low volume OEM's $100.00 per CPU?

The only way Intel can cut prices is to pass those cuts on as increases to us smaller OEM's who are already paying for your Dells and if they do this and put us out of business, then you will pay the true costs to build your Dells. This is an option. If they do this, look out for the end of the cheap Dells. Be prepared to pay from $600.00 to $1000.00 for your Dells and other name brands if we quit subsidizing them for you.

Y'all fellows can earn $50.00 per hour and up and not ever touch a screwdriver. No wonder programmers do house calls. They do not have to physically work inside of the box. Hardly anyone has desk space to work on a computer, so you end up using their floor for your bench. Often you have to unhook the computer to pull it out enough to get inside of it. Then you have to slide it back to hook it back up etc. My guess is anyone who knows their way around a Windows Registry and fix practically any Windows problem and avoid reinstalling. If I knew all of that I would quit the lowly, low paying hardware work and just do keyboard and mouse work. Chuck
