HP Displays Strong AMD Powered L2000 Notebook Sales

AMD (NYSE:AMD) and HP (NYSE:HPQ) (Nasdaq:HPQ) today announced that they have generated more than $2 million to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) through sales of the HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC, powered by AMD Turion(TM) 64 mobile technology. Thanks to the tremendous success of this initiative, availability of this one-of-a-kind notebook will be extended through June 2006.

Available since June of last year, the HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC bears the LIVESTRONG message and a reproduction of Lance Armstrong's autograph. For each HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC shipped to date, the LAF has received $50 from AMD and HP.

AMD has made a two-year commitment to help generate a minimum of $4 million for the LAF. As an ongoing part of this support for the LAF and its mission, AMD was the Official Technology Partner of the 2005 LIVESTRONG Ride in Portland, Oregon and the 2005 Ride for the Roses Weekend in Austin, Texas.document.write('');

Target.com, uBid.com and Walmart.com will have the notebook available for purchase in February 2006.
