AMD on Best Buy Shelves Again?

10 Jul, 2005 at 10:50am ET Article published in Tech

Apparently eMachines will be fielding two A64 machines and one Sempron machine and HP will be putting out two A64 machines.

A source has told us that AMD systems are on the rise for back to school sales. Apparently Emachines is fielding two Athlon 64 models and one Sempron model. This would be up one A64 box from what I’ve last seen. Then also HP will be putting two Athlon 64 models on the shelves up from zero at Best Buy. This is a start, but still pales to the 6 Sam’s has had. Come on Best Buy, grow some already.

Could we be seeing some progress thanks to the antitrust suit now, or are these additions something that has been in the works already? That is the question.

10 Jul 2005 ~ 5:12pm shwaip P3s and PMs are good though. Sweeping generalizations = bad.
10 Jul 2005 ~ 5:20pm IT is MEEEEEEEE Yea that is true. I was generalizing though. I do have respect for the mobiles. Celerons suck, P4's in my opinion with comparisons just make alot of heat, and their flag ship processors are overpriced. But I was sorta mean, but I am sorry to tell you that I enjoy taking big "dumps" (haha) on intel.
10 Jul 2005 ~ 5:22pm IT is MEEEEEEEE dumps in terms of stack dumps when they crash and display all their faults to the world. O I AM SO MEAN YAY. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

10 Jul 2005 ~ 5:25pm shwaip Posting in caps makes me agree with your opinions moreso than if you were to properly format your sentences

As does posting immediately after yourself saying "I agree".
