Is Intel the only place to currently get quad-core PCs? I've been looking for quad-core AMD Athlon chip PCs, but haven't been able to find any -- is AMD quad-core still in development?

Also is it possible to get AMD Opteron chips in quad-core, and can these chips be installed on desktop PC systems, or only server-based systems?

(1) Intel doesn't sell PC's. They sell processors and motherboards, among other things. Many manufacturers use Intel components. You can look at DELL, GATEWAY, ASUS, ACER, HP, and a few more, to see if they have started incorporating the quad yet.

(2) For AMD "what's up" type of questions, I suggest you go to the AMD web site and read it directly from the horse's mouth. I'm sure they have a "News" or "What's New" section.

don't let that guy to ya.. he's been cranky.

oh. and if you really need someone to build you a quad core machine to your spec you should probably send me a private message.. .

Pathetic!

Those 11 Thumbs must be really painful, what with all of them up there, together with your self-inflated importance.

Why not just take out an on-line ad with TR ??

Show that they sell Quad Core PCs by Acer and Cybertron. Tigerdirect doesn't sell Dells or other top name brands except for refurbished. If Acer has it, its mainstream...

Another quick google shows that Opteron Quad cores are in stores.

I'm sure you can find the information by googling as to quadcore opetron motherboards.

I own a Dell Precision desktop with 2 Xeon processors, so you can find server processors in desktops, but they are not as easy to find. I haven't seen one with an opteron but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
