Is it the "other OEM" that got the bargain 500 MHz P-III's?
If so, that'll piss off Gateway even more! 500 MHz P-III's are one of the chips Gateway couldn't get their hands on, and Intel sold them to another OEM at bargain prices. Incredible!


Petz, why do you think GTW is able to ship a pc with the 800MHz cumine in 7 days and Dell over a month....it was payback time.

I've saying this for months...
E-MACHINES got the deal on the 500MHZ Pentium IIIs...

Gateway got the shaft?
