I would reccommend focusing on AMD based systems, that's the way you can pimp dell. For example, the AMD 64 X2's, intel don't have an equivelent out yet. Dell can't use AMD parts in building their PCs, since they have an agreement with intel. By using the dual core AMD systems as a niche, (very useful for multi-tasking in the business world), you could get a lot of customers.
