I read about that in the Wall Street Journal last friday. They plan on keeping Alienware (including all of its staff and infrastructure) fully intact. Unchanged. Interesting eh?

The are probably doing this to get a little street cred. I see them dumping their XPS line in the near future... hasn't performed as well as they would like.

They will start selling AMD cpus if enough people demand them. Still a superior product. AMD inched its way past Intel last year to have 46% of the market (compared to Intel's 45% IBM's 9%). A lot of people were saying "just imagine if Dell didn't exclusively sell Intel chips..."
