<I went to Fry's component department.
They feature Athlon 550 and 600 bundled with a FIC motherboard ($599 and $799). They had a large nicely printed book on how to assemble an Athlon system. They had a clear notification that some PC powersupplies would not work with the Athlon and a website to go to for checking for a list of AMD approved supplies. There was a big stack of both 550 and 600 mhz versions.>

Saturday Oregonian's business section has a Fry's full page add. Athlon 550/FIC combo is advertised for $599. Also a Nexstar PC Athlon 600/64MB/17GB/6xDVD/32MB-TNT2/ is advertised for $1799.

RDM re <<I went to Fry's component department...>>

Yes, I saw the same thing in San Diego today. I went there to buy myself a 21 inch view sonic monitor. (what a zoo that place is)

AMD had a large table/booth/section. K6-2, K6-III and K7 were all displayed. The FIC MB and Athlon was also advertised. Plenty of those color "built your own Athlon" booklet.

No Compaq system, only two from Nextar. They did have all the four speed grade CPU's on stock.
