Albert: <why would [Paul} go with Celeron> Depauleron would definitely go for it just for solidarity, to support Intel's move to finally convert the world into the IntelSlot monopoly and kill the competition (AMD). BTW, for those who were creaming their pants in desperate wait for i440BX chipset hoping for more-than-ever unleashed P-II power, that's it: tomshardware.com In short, long-awaited 100MHz bus buys only about 2% as compared to vanilla 66Mhz bus. As I have said to Elmer. It means all Intel efforts to hype their achievements are in the drain - they could achieve the same level of SYSTEM performance just by releasing 5x and 5.5X modes. Their R&D/marketing looks stupid here. Instead of letting the LX to be on the market for a while and drive the cost of mainboards down (and drive the system cost down to compete at the point of sale), they are launching the BX with new wave of board's redesign at OEM, with all associated expenses. The only reason is that the Celery-250 will have K6-rating of 200 instead of 166, as for 66MHz bus. However, the cost of PC-100-certified components is much higher, so where they can get the price advantage?
