RE <<<If AMDZone is correct does this mean that Gateway has assembled systems sitting in a warehouse that they legally can't sell? That would certainly s**k for Gateway.>>>

The way things are going, I think the only chipmker/boxmakr who will have a good Xmas is AMD, and that's only because the year has been pretty bad. One way or another, it would seem the rest have managed to screw themselves up enough so that Q4 may not be so hot.

RE <<<It also begs the question "just how many unsalable Athlons did Gateway buy? 1000, 10,000, 100,000 ?>>>

Whether its 1 k or 1 mil, unless there is something weird going on, GTW has to pay for them and that's all I care about.
