I called Gateway...and WOW! Maybe you should start calling Dell now, and convince them they should be selling AMD also! : ) Richard

Cringe - Re: " I called Gateway...and WOW!" I think you need to call them back ! I just talked to a SalesWoman at Gateway - her name was Sinclair - 1-800-846-4208. I asked for a K6-2 system. INSTANTANEOUSLY she said: "NO I WON'T SELL YOU ONE - I have a Celeron system, etc., etc. AMD CHips are NOTHING but Problems , etc., etc. !" She spent last Thursday calling 34 of HER customers and switching them over to Intel Celeron systems - and she is UPSET TO THE MAX with the AMD/Motherboard problem. And she said the problem was the K6-2 as well as the motherboards! Just thought you'd like to know. Paul
