Re:"A spokesman for PC OEM Gateway 2000 refuted reports that it plans to ship a system musing Advanced Micro Devices' Athlon microprocessor. Goutama, Gateway can refute reports of Athlon systems all they want. This rumor has legs of it's own and is fact starting to take on the look of an "urban legend"-you know like alligators in the NYC sewer system. I'm not looking at this through rose colored glasses, but just where did Gateway come up with an Athlon system for Family PC if they had no intention of selling them. One possibility. What if it was a trial balloon to judge the reaction of Intel.Maybe Intel reacted very badly, thus the press release to sooth the already frayed nerves at chipzilla. ajb
