Jim - RE: "OTOH, K6's would have fit nicely in GTWs $1000 range computers."

Yup. I'm sure AMD had 475 and 500MHz K6-2 with Gateway's name written on it.

A 7 cent earnings warning is a 22M shortfall. And Gateway supposedly got a 20M incentive from Intel for using their processors. Looks like it was a LOSE, LOSE situation.

Jim - RE: "Oh how Intels BS came home to roost this Q. Remember Intel stopped making some of the low end MHZ Celerons and the P-III 450s and sold a bunch of P-III-500s to E-machines? Gateway got the shaft."

It was the Gateway Essential PCs that didnt' get their processors - gateway.com

Celeron 433 - $999
PII 450 - $1099
PIII 500 - $1299

Like you said, Emachines got the 500s. AMD could have supplied their processors for this line of computers.
