Paul,

The Gateway ThunderTurds are slow - <950 MHz - and the old AthWIPERs are nearly as fast.

Compared to Pentiums, available only up to 733 MHz (retail), they are much faster.

The only one of significance, the 1 Ghz TTURD, still isn't available from Gateway.

See: Message 14062495
"Gateway, San Diego, has resumed shipments of the 1-GHz Select models, which use the latest "Thunderbird" microprocessor from Advanced Micro Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif. However, the machines won't be available to the public for some time. For now, Gateway said it is taking care of its order backlog."
