Mani,

<Gateway no longer offers the Athlon 600, the lowest is now 650 MHz! That is consistent with what you and others have been saying.>

Checked out the Gateway page and pleased to see the changes.

Glad to see theory meet practice. Select 600s lived for 1 1/2 month. Wonder how long Select 650s will stay!

Chuck

P.S.: This fast pace may work for Gateway but may not sit well with a lot of retail side OEMs - will be interesting to see how quickly HP will move off their 550s.

Got if gateway is not offering AMd 600's anymore someone should tell gateway to stop running the tv add for a AMD box for $1,200.

Mani - RE: "Gateway no longer offers the Athlon 600, the lowest is now 650 MHz!"

And to think, a little over a month ago all Gateway could offer at that price point was a PIII 500! Gateway's decision to use the Athlon was a VERY good one. After the next round of price drops Athlon 700 will be the bottom, like Chuck has predicted.

Gee, Dell is offering new systems with dual PIII 600s and Gateway is wiping Athlon 600 off their list. Anyone notice a discrepancy? ;)
