    A month ago Kevin Rollins of Dell said no to Dell using AMD processors. Boy how things can change in 30-days though [ ;)]

    Dell has done an about face and said that, well maybe they will consider AMD 64 processors for servers, and who knows, they could push down into other products.

    According to users on this site, well over 50% would like to see or demand AMD processors from Dell, see our recent poll:

    AMD stock is up almost 25% in 3-days after these comments from Dell and Analysts are indicating AMD is starting to steal market share from Intel, and not tripping over themselves trying to release new products.

    Full speed ahead for AMD hey?
