Cirrus, <I think you would prefer Duron to appear vaporous for some time. Have you seen the benchmarks?>

Yes, I've seen the benchmarks. Duron is a compelling low-end solution in terms of performance, but lack of good chipsets and motherboards remains a big problem. Also, Intel has the 810/815E chipsets which make very excellent platforms for the low-end (despite the FUD spread by web sites who value 3D performance much more than buyers in this price segment).

However, Duron has a very good chance of overshadowing current Celeronmine-based PCs later on (especially once Via integrates Savage4 graphics into their Duron chipsets). Hopefully before then, Intel will release Willamette and Timna and drive Pentium III (Coppermine-256) down into Duron's market segments.
