tejek Re: However what surprised me was the way that press release that you posted was worded. Talk about my sarcasm?!! ted, Here's more: HP won't roll out a Pavilion PC with the 566-MHz Celeron until April, says Ray Aldrich, spokesperson. Executives from Compaq, Dell, and Gateway say they have no dates when they'll offer home PCs with either CPU. Aldrich says there's nothing odd about HP's delayed support for these Celerons. HP's product road map simply has a short delay between Intel's announcement and the launch of a 566-MHz Celeron-based Pavilion, he says. HP doesn't plan to use a Celeron-600 in a PC, but that could change. Dell opted not to use either chip in a Dimension system right now for lack of customer demand, says spokesperson Maria Krinsky. Dell's entry-level Dimension desktops run Celeron-466 and Pentium III-550 chips. The processor situation is already too complex, and adding two Celerons to the mix just confuses matters more, she says. But Dell may reconsider. COMMENT: Since when do OEM's make their own roadmaps?
