Ed - RE: "A CPQ Athlon 800 announcement" Thanks for finding that. Compaq is offering the 800MHz Athlon BEFORE it has been officially released! This happened with the 750 also. Here's the link to it - athome.compaq.com Hopefully Compaq has fixed the dumb problem with their PCs.. Compaq is NOT offering the 500 and 550 MHz Athlon anymore in their 5900 series. This is very good for AMD because those have such how ASPs (for an Athlon). Compaq has put up their new 7000 series computers at their site - athome.compaq.com The 7900 series is ALL AMD - K6-2 533, Athlon 550, 600, 700, 750 The 7500 is just one model and it is a PIII 550 The 7400 series is ALL AMD - one K6-2 500 and four K6-2 533 models The 7300 series is one model and it is a K6-2 500 You can get some of these PCs with a 40 Gig hard drive! Since the new Compaq 7000 line is so AMD based, I really hope the dumb freeze problem with Compaq PCs doesn't hurt Compaq, and as a result AMD, to much. At Pricewatch, BIG Athlon price drops are occurring in anticipation of the Athlon 800 release. Cumine prices are also going down a lot.
