Jim, Re: "They can't seriously think a 266 at a 33% speed DIS-advantage to a K6-233 will fly...Socket 7

Not in my shop it won't. I know it's been said in here and maybe by me, but the first Celeron, Covington, is an intermediate chip, to be replaced by Mendocino. But, still, Covington can and will be used by some to check out all existing software applications that have been running, e.g., on classic or MMX Pentiums. I'm planning on getting some of the first copies for this purpose. After everything looks cool, we'll go to Mendocino, and then, up the MHz ladder, if necessary.
You don't seem to get that there are some, make that a lot of people, that just flat out don't trust Jerry/AMD (or Cyrix).
