Kap,

Re:" You are talking about a crippled Celeron (no L2) that could not even compete with k6-2 let alone with PeeIII. It is only in Q1, 1999 that Intel decided to go after AMD with "real" Celeron. It took the consumers and corporate IT a couple of month to catch-up with the big segmentation scam and abandon PeeIII. Watch the Q2 ASPs."

Plus there was a huge performance gap between initial mendocino parts and PII speed grades.

Once the 500Mhz Celeron comes out next month they will have almost identically performing chips from Intel with a $400 difference in ASP.

IT managers may be dumb and stupid and won't buy AMD but they will figure out what a great deal the celery is vs PIII and even the Culatermine.

Regards,

Kash
