Re: "In the mean time, they are buying 450 MHz Xeons from.....INTEL !"

You sound very excited about this. You've posted this article twice, Maverick. Er--I mean Pauleron. Tell me, does it surprise you that Gateway is using the 450 MHz Xeon?

Would it surprise you if Gateway announced they were using a K6-2?

Maybe now you can see why one anouncement is irrelevant, and the other (if it happens) would be significant.

In any case, only a pure sucker would buy a Xeon for their home computer--unless their whole house is networked off of it.

Paul:

re <<Gateway may buy the cheap K6-2 - I fully expect them to.
In the mean time, they are buying 450 MHz Xeons from.....INTEL!>>

What do you think the chances are the rest, (Dell, cpq, hp, ibm) will follow suit and offer 450Mhz Xeons? Hope they sell well.

Best Regards,

Greg Gimelli
