And for people "blaming" (I suppose attributing is a better word) the large number of iPod sales to HP, they only accounted for 6% of total sales.
Great quarter.

6% increas in CPU's? I guess that's good. Nothing to write home about though. Would probably sell more if they actually had the machines ready, like 2.5 Duals.
