Scot - <That may be....but all I can tell you is that Best Buy has an NEC with Athlon inside. It was also in the Sunday Best Buy circular (I'd be happy to scan the ad). It was on the "extra" wrap-around addition to the circular. Maybe this rollout is initially east coast only?>

I believe you all. Mani was asking for confirmation, and I went to the websites to look as a source of confirmation. I guess your report will have to do for now in the absence of some official word form NEC :-).

For the doubters, the NEC thing is true and it is not just a East Coast thing. It is definitely US wide (and may be worldwide). Expect to see 600MHz in a week or two.
