Intel to boost Celeron bus zdnet.com [...] So far none of the major PC manufacturers shipping AMD Athlon chips, including Gateway Inc. and Compaq Computer Corp., has begun offering Duron systems. However, that should soon change as the companies announce plans to deliver Duron systems later this year. "I think the (PC makers) are waiting on a platform. They don't have a chip set yet," Feibus said. The platform will come from VIA Technologies Inc. VIA's low-cost Apollo KM133 chip set with integrated graphics is expected to arrive later in the year. It should become the basis of these major PC makers' Duron PCs, set for release in time for the Christmas buying season. "You'll see a big push in the retail channel in that time frame," said Martin Booth, a marketing director at AMD, in a recent interview. Judging from the past ramp-ups, I would think that the KM133 motherboards would have to be beginning to appear right about now for them to be in plentiful supply for the Christmas season. Has anyone seen anything about them recently?
