IBM roundly endorsed AMD's new Athlon chip today with a broad direct sales push, marking an overhaul of its consumer PC line and a bid to gain market momentum.

Most of the new Aptiva computers introduced today will be sold direct, with certain models only available directly from IBM, indicating that Big Blue has pulled out all the stops out to emulate Dell Computer and Gateway in the consumer and small-business segment.
