"D&H is recognized by the North American reseller community as an outstanding distributor and is well-established, having been in business for almost 80 years," said David West, AMD director of worldwide distributor operations. "The addition of D&H will allow us to further enhance our support of AMD resellers, and we are pleased to be associated with them."

"D&H is excited to add AMD and its AMD-K6 processor to our product line, which is a great product for both resellers and integrators," said Michael Schwab, D&H director of purchasing. "The AMD-K6 offers an affordable solution for individuals and provides resellers a product that enhances their computing line. We are also looking forward to working with AMD on products to come."

Introduced in November 1997, the PIB is a boxed processor product based on the AMD-K6 processor that provides resellers the best performance solution for Socket 7 systems. It includes the AMD-K6 processor with heatsink, thermal grease, and fan attached. The product, distributed in a tamper-resistant, shrink-wrapped box, comes with a three-year limited warranty, certificate of authenticity, and an AMD-K6 processor bezel logo, and is available only through authorized distributors ,which include D&H, @ONCE, FAI, and Ingram Micro.

The PIB was launched with an industry-first joint rebate program between AMD and Microsoft® Corp. For each group of 50 AMD-K6 PIB-based systems sold with officially licensed versions of the Windows®95 operating system, U.S. or Canada-based VARs may submit the proper combination of AMD and Microsoft rebate coupons for up to $500 cash back. The joint rebate offer is scheduled through June 30, 1998. As a special incentive, resellers who submit their coupons by April 16 will be entered into a drawing to win one of ten trips to see the AMD race car compete in the Indy 500. The joint rebate offer is scheduled through June 30, 1998. See www.amd.com for details.

"The processor in a box has proven to be a very popular product with our resellers," said Thomas Toles, AMD field marketing manager. "D&H resellers now have the opportunity to combine the cost savings of the Socket 7 platform with the superior performance of the AMD-K6 processor to provide their customers the best value."
