Logos, re:"the guys from Intel kept talking about the Celeron (and also about the Xeon and so on, of course). I, for one, was a bit disturbed by how important the Celeron seemed to them, since I'd always thought (like the analysts, apparantly) that the Celeron was just a stop-gap and that the real money was in the top end of the PII and the PII Xeon."

The difficultly resides in a different perspective. You likely think of Celeron as the product - cachless 266 PII, whereas Intel thinks of it as the market segment and a long term business. The Intel guys are now living with the next Celeron you know as Mendocino. This part has 128KB L2 cache that runs at processor clock speed - right - that is twice as fast as Pentium II product. Mendocino will change the landscape of the low in PCs.

And - oh yes - there will be plenty of future Celeron products to follow Mendocino at ever better price/performance points.
