Joe - RE: "But that's irrelevant. Mhz sells (TM Jim McMannis), and Athlon can reach higher MHz."

Except in extreme cases, such as the original Celery. That processor was a true DOG, but had the MHz to compete. Fortunately for Intel, Mendocino (sp?) came out not too far after. But the negativity associated with the Celeron name still exists some places.

There is no guarantee the AThlon will still be a good chip w/o L2 cache. I am sure AMD looked at the possibility and Spitfire was drawn up soon after.
