Re: "IMO, Intel is also debating whether to make Celeron A, Socket 370 chips at the 400, 450 and possibly 500 speed grades. Until now, "Celeron" has been synonomous with "66 MHz bus," and with "low cost." Clearly a 450 MHz bus Celeron A would outperform a 450 MHz Pentium II. It would also be cheaper to make in Socket 370 package than is a Pentium II. So, why should Intel continue to make Slot 1 processors?? For desktops, Socket 370 is better or equal performance and cheaper to make; for servers, Slot 2 is better than Slot 1."

Good analysis, I agree with you. I might add that I don't think there is any reason for a new chipset for the 370 package. It is a different socket mechanically but I don't think it is different electrically or logically.
