http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10..._goes_opteron/
Wonder if Fujitsu will also offer Solaris on its Opteron boxes? |

Fujitsu wasn't exactly "Intel only", they were actually one of the first companies to jump on board with the Opteron for workstations. They also offer AMD Turion based notebooks and Athlon64 desktop PCs in both their consumer and commercial line-up. Really the server space was their one and only hold-out that didn't have AMD products pretty well integrated throughout, and now that has changed. I wonder of things are seeming a little lonely for Dell these days? ------------- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca |

They also offer AMD Turion based notebooks and Athlon64 desktop PCs in both their consumer and commercial line-up. They offered an Athlon based notebook in the U.S. a while back but not for long and wth XP Home IIRC. They had better offerings in EU for AMD-based notebooks but sold under Fujitsu-Siemens branding.... stank of Intel embargo to me because their notebooks are quite good AFAIK. They have a Turion-based system now though - just one AFAICT with some options price range. Really the server space was their one and only hold-out that didn't have AMD products pretty well integrated throughout, and now that has changed. I wonder of things are seeming a little lonely for Dell these days? Judging by the recent 3Q sales, they don't care.... yet.:-) -- Rgds, George Macdonald |
