It never seems to come easy for AMD, no matter the time or product line. Dell has thrown a curve ball in only selling AMD based units at retail. How does AMD compare at retail? Read and find out.

A search on the reseller's Web site greets you with a page full of AMD-based notebooks.   Ten to be exact.  (Certain models are almost identical but that applies to Intel-based models too.) Some are pretty attractive too.  Many are models in Dell's svelte Inspiron line.  (Correction: Not Dell's XPS line).   </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.cnet.com/8301-13924_1-9869882-64.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20"><P>Granted, Best Buy may not have the turnover of Dell's website but it's not Radio Shack either.

If the perception is that AMD is fading at Dell, that's not the case (at least not yet) at the largest PC supplier in the world.  "AMD represents a good value from a price/performance ratio," an HP spokesperson said. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/23985104-F8B7-432C-AB18-2074FE6F9C48/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
