Tench - RE: "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."

Call Gateway and hear what they recommend.

Ten,

Their TV ads never mention AMD, only the Intel Pentium III processor.

Intel pays Gateway a lot of money to keep it that way. In fact, Intel pays for the commercial.
