Mani, I bet K6 or K7 sounds a whole lot better than "Celeron", so I ask you, where did they(Intel) find the genius who came up with this latest name? "Celeron" was a stroke of genius for Intel. It was an intentional attempt to devalue the entry level PC segment, which in turn allowed them to keep the PII/PIII brand names at a higher price. At the same time they used Celeron to punish AMD. The problem for Intel is that AMD pushed the clock speeds of K6-2 forward very fast, and it forced Intel to move Celeron MHz past PII. Their whole pricing structure is in danger of collapse. K7 might cause them to implode. Scumbria
