DARBES, I am sending this message from a Gateway Country store as I write this in Albuquerque, N.M. (Intel country).
It is a little disappointing here. They only have two Athlons on display. A 700 and a 650 Athlon machine. Everything else in here is Intel. (They even have a 750 on display). Don't know what that means. They said I could get a 1Ghz machine in short order if I wanted though. I'll go check out a Best Buy here later if I get a chance.

Regards
Ed P.
