Tim - RE: "As for Athlon being currently available I suggest you shop @ a Circut City or CompUSA. They have the 500 and 600 CPQ's as display models only. They can't promise delivery before Xmas. CC also has no 500 or 600 systems in the regional warehouse."

I was at a Best Buy and CompUSA a few hours ago today. Here's what I saw at BB -

Compaq Athlon 500
Compaq Athlon 600
Compaq Athlon 700
NEC Athlon 500
IBM Athlon 500
IBM Athlon 600
IBM Athlon 650
Compaq K6-2 475
Compaq K6-2 500
IBM K6-2 500 and I think a 475 also
NEC K6-2 500

475 is the lowest MHz K6-2 PC I saw.

Notebooks were 6 K6-2s, 6 Intels

At Comp USA I didn't do much of a check. They didn't have Compaq 700 Athlons or IBM 650 Athlons. There were fewer Athlons here than BB.

There were a bunch of Celerons at both places. But they went down to 400MHz.

As far as PIIIs, at BB I saw a few PIII 500s, a couple of 550s and ONE 733. No 600, 650, 667, or 700MHz PIII.

CompUSA was the same except I think they had PIII 600 systems.

At BB and CompUSA you could order a 750MHz Compaq Athlon system.
