| lawsuit filed by the firm of legendary shareholder plaintiff's
| lawyer Bill Lerach is accurate, that's what Intel
| routinely paid Dell to keep away from the chips
| of Advanced Micro Devices.

| The 251-page complaint alleges that Dell misrepresented the
| state of its business by, among other things, failing to
| properly account for and disclose kickbacks from Intel.
