A company called Cumetrix is selling a 600 MHz. Athlon system. Order today and it ships tomorrow. They told me they are using a Microstar 6167 motherboard.
Cumetrix is listed at the AMD website as one of only eleven manufacturers as a "Top Manufacturer selling AMD Processor-Based Desktop PCs"

This is supposed to involve some sort of configuration testing and verification procedure though I don't know how extensive or reliable this is supposed to be.
Other manufacturers listed:
IBM

Kryotech
Gateway
NEC

Everex
CIE
