<<DragonBoy, RE:What's wrong with building a high class Lexus and a cheap Toyata Tercel?>>

This is a very poor comparison. Lexus is a different class from Toyota. Lexus is built with a higher grade of materials and extra touch of latest technology. You can feel the difference after sitting inside a Toyota Tercel and a LS400.

Celeron and PII on the otherhand is the same piece of silicon with same circuitry. The only difference is the final packaging. The PII has the SRAM and the nice cover with the hologram picture. Had the circuitry of Celeron be different from PII then it would be hard to compare. What the Celeron did was exposing the weakness of the PII engine. So a better analogy is

PII------ Original Lexus LS400
Celeron-- Lexus LS400 with a Yugo engine

Do you know what happen when you put a Yugo engine into the Lexus LS400? You kill the brand name!
