IBM endorsement is much better than expected:

Aptiva E 572, 590, 595 and 765, all based on Athlon ranging from 500 to 650 Mhz will be sold both online at ShopIMB and retail outlets across the country begining next month.

Aptiva S 860 and 865 will be sold by IBM Direct only.

IBM replaces CPQ as AMD's strongest endorser.

From IBM release, look like the entire Aptiva line will soon be Athlonized!
