Here's why athlons are stuck at 1GHZ:

Note that the newly approved MSI socket A board is only good to 900mhz.

If slot A can only go to 1050mhz and socket A boards are shaky above 900mhz (also explains gateway's lack of 1ghz tbird - are they using socketed motherboards?) then AMD can't launch faster parts until they get socket A motherboards that can handle it.
