So far none of the major PC manufacturers shipping AMD Athlon chips, including Gateway Inc. (NYSE:GTW - news) and Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news), have begun offering Duron systems. Hey Elmer.......selective disclosure?????? So far none of the major PC manufacturers shipping AMD Athlon chips,including Gateway Inc. (NYSE:GTW - news) and Compaq Computer Corp.(NYSE:CPQ - news), have begun offering Duron systems. However, that should soon change as the companies have, or will, announce plans to deliver Duron systems later this year. "I think the (PC makers) are waiting on a platform. They don't have a chipset, yet," Feibus said. The platform will come from VIA Technologies Inc. VIA's low-cost Apollo KM133 chipset with integrated graphics, is expected to arrive later in the year. It should become the basis of these major PC makers' Duron PCs, set for release in time for the Christmas buying season. "You'll see a big push in the retail channel in that time frame," said Martin Booth, a marketing director at AMD, in a recent interview with ZDNet News. THE WATSONYOUTH
