<Call Gateway and hear what they recommend.>

Why should I? Their TV ads never mention AMD, only the Intel Pentium III processor. The front page of their Web site is the same thing: no mention of AMD, but several mentions of Pentium III.

Maybe you're hoping that AMD will pull some sort of bait-n-switch over the phone, where someone asking for a Pentium III computer will be coerced to go with a cheaper but slower K6-2 system instead.

Called them.

They don't have any K6-3 machines.

Just K6-2 machines.
