Chuck - RE: "Why? If you follow Compaq closely you will see that it is a SLOW moving company. AMD wouldn't be hald as attractive today without Gateway!"

I agree. Compaq's left hand probably doesn't know what the right one is doing. Gateway is always fast on price drops and to update their webpage. AMD's winning Gateway turned out to be a well timed event for both companies. Gateway is even showing on their front page a 750MHz Athlon costs as much as a 700MHz PIII system. (same configuration.)

Actually, I just looked into it a little further. Someone at CPQ likes round numbers only. They have Athlons at 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 MHz. No 50s.

ps - yes, unfortunately I own CPQ shares and the stock moves as slow as the company.
