Gene, Re: "Am I right in assuming that Celeron is classified as P6
but not PII?"

Celeron is a PII, intended for business or personal use computers. P6 is another name for the Pentium Pro, which has been THE server CPU chip for the past 2 1/2 years. P6 will eventually fade out in favor of the 350 or 400 MHz PII's announced today, which had been code-named Deschutes.

Next year, Merced comes out. It will coexist with PII, as Merced is a 64 bit CPU and PII is a 32 bit CPU. They will coexist because 64 bits will be overkill for quite a while re business or personal computers, for which 32 bits is just fine.

Just thought I'd clear some things up, as Paul may be out to the woodshop for awhile.
