    Arrow Gateway has SECRETLY been using AMD Tbirds instead of P4's!!!!!

    Check out this page of their website!

    @ the bottom of the first page they list that you are getting a P4 2.8GHz, but right above that they clearly show a picture of a AMD tbird cpu!

    I would look in my system if i were you, this could be a conspiracy.

    Hehe, maybe somebody should tell Gateway!!
    Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and he wants to be yours too!!

    The processor and memory are the "brains" of a system. The more memory in your computer, the faster it will perform.

    Hey, gotta love these memory prices:


    Memory
    1024MB RDRAM® PC800 (4-256MB Modules) (expandable to 2GB) [ +US$0.00]

    1024MB RDRAM® PC800 (2-512MB Modules) [ +US$120] - Increase Speed!

    1536MB RDRAM® PC800 [ +US$480]

    2048MB RDRAM® PC800 [ +US$960]



    And the increase speed thingy...maybe someone should take them to court over false advertising.

    What?!? You expect GateWay to make sense?


    I mean they are near charging an extra $1,000 for only one gig more of PC800 RDRAM
