Kevin - Re: "Tell me, does it surprise you that Gateway is using the 450 MHz Xeon?" Yes! It surprised you, didn't it? Re:" Would it surprise you if Gateway announced they were using a K6-2 ?" No - October 26 is the date I have heard re: "only a pure sucker would buy a Xeon for their home computer--" Why? Xeons are FAST. If people need or want speed, they can get it. Are people who drive Mercedes suckers? Lexus? If people want cheap, they can get that too - a K6-2 or Cyrix Miis That's why Rolex keeps selling watches and making good profits while Casio pumps out the cheapies and barely breaks even. Paul PS - Sounds like you are a bit upset at the Gateway/XEON announcement. It kinda takes away the "lustre" from the upcoming low end Gateway K6-2 box - doesn't it?
