Pravin - RE: "Athlon is clearly being promoted. Very nice to see, but it would be even nicer if they would advertize Athlon a little." I wouldn't expect it. It was a surprise to us and the media when people began spotting HP Athlon systems at Sam's Club stores. HP hasn't even come out with a press release saying their Pavilions use the Athlon. But I shouldn't dog HP too much because they are offering the fastest system in retail - an 800MHz Athlon based Pavilion system. They DO state they use the K6-2 in their press releases.

Pravin <Here is a link to HP's 800 and 850 Mhz systems:> Did you notice that the Athlon 850 models are listed with a 64MB DDR Nvidia GeForce? I thought this was a Dell special for the 1 GHz PIII? First Dell, now HP, when will the web review sites get one so they can share some testing results for this graphics card? These multimedia models are also available in colored cases; from their description: "The colors, inspired by the elements of the chemistry periodic table, include Xenon Purple [+$10], Cobalt Blue [base], Krypton Green [+$10] and Titanium Gray[-$19]." EDIT: No Win2k option though... :-( PT ps: Link shopping.hp.com
