Gateway tells me they do not offer an Athlon Processor in their computers anymore. As far as going to retail stores such as CompUsa,Circuit City or others, I have only seen Compaq and Hewlitt Packard with the Athlon. I would rather buy from a store so that I can bring the computer back, if there is a problem. If I buy on line, returning something could turn out to be quite annoying. I have taken computer PC comfiguration classes and could probably build one, but I do not feel comfortable enough yet to do it on my own as yet, after spending all that money. Before I spend lots of money and build my own, I would prefer to buy bare bones minimum components, build it, and see if it works properly without spending too much money. Once I do something like that, I will consider my own power computer. In the meantime I will probably purchase from a retail store, tell them what I want, build my own, so to speak, and let them do it. If you know of any retail stores other than what I had mentioned, that carry Athlons please let me know.
