James,

Hi, I just noticed you are the same James from MRVC thread. :)

There has been lots of talk regarding GTW offering Athlon and none of which have proven to be correct. I personally got an email from a GTW rep telling me that Athlon GTW would be available middle of December 1999. Also a Zdnet article had listed a GTW Athlon computer as a possible buy for Holiday computer shoppers. There were many more rumors as well.

It is clear to me that GTW was ready to offer an Athlon based machine and they pulled out. Why they pulled out is open to speculation, maybe availability was an issue, maybe Intel offered a financial incentive, maybe something else. Who knows.

GTW could announce an Athlon machine any time but I am not holding my breath.
