re: "Is that 800 MHz Gateway the one with the new AthWipey ?" This system employs the 100MHz bus and baseline cost is over $3800 while the similar 700MHz system is approximately $1400 less. The benchmarks on this system may well not be up to those on the DELL 733 system with that super special memory bus and ram in many applications. The salesman that I spoke to was candid enough to say that it was not aggressively priced to move and nonetheless the lead times were stretching out because of a lack of chips. He also expressed some hope towards getting ATHLONs into their offerings when I complained bitterly about the pricing. HHHHHHMMMMMM????? Regards, DARBES
