<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! >

My PC with PMMX overclocked to 233 feels old. I have even added a second 6.4G drive last year. Not that I need it but it is too tempting to buy a new PC. OTOH, I could wait for Spitfire.

<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. >

I doubt if CPQ will let that problem repeat with the new SKUs. But who knows...

<At Pricewatch, BIG Athlon price drops are occurring in anticipation of the Athlon 800 release. Cumine prices are also going down a lot.>

Looking forward to Goutama's report for details ;-)
