RE:"P.S.: I have a mild concern that any Athlons that AMD ships to Gateway for this quarter might be lower speed bins for the above stated reasons which could mean lower ASPs.
"...

Reports are that even the Athlon 500s that AMD is shipping are down binned 650s. This is what's stamped on the processor and seen when the case is opened. These are .25u parts. I think the bottom of the speed bin for the .18u ones is 750. So, AMD an easily supply Gateway with high MHz chips...of course, Gateway can always order the lower speed grades...which AMD could eliminate. I really don't know what the answer is here...
