<Why are people going to by the Celery/ Celeriac/ Celeron? First of all, somebody has to build it into a machine. As an OEM, you can design a lame machine with the sacred Intel inside, or wait 6 months for the equivalent non-lame PII. >

The market guides the box makers construction of PC's. If the celeron is prived at 10% above the K6, or at parity, who do you think the market is going to choose. Pentium is a household word, K6 is a pair of alphanumeric symbols. As I have said before, the tech business is more than production and engineering.

<Maybe the new media maven has inside info, but the press greeted Celeron with a really big yawn.>

Since when does the press pay for PCs. The press said the Titanic was to be a gigantic financial flop as well. How about when they said the Internet and NSCP were to be the demise of MSFT? That is why they are in the press in lieu of the respective businesses that they comment on. The job of the press is to sell advertising space, not spread knowledge.
