Joey:

<<Keep dreaming. The sole reason for K6-2 price cuts is due to Celeron 400, AMD's worst night-mare. Check out this glowing review. Intel's segmentation strategy for 1999 is clear: Celeron, Katmai, and Xeon. AMD will be scrambling all year long to keep up.>>

Why should a consumer buy a PII over a Celeron? Segmentation only works if there is a differential performance of the Celeron to PII. In this case it is just a name. Is Intel out to cheat consumers by creating a false image?

What I see is the quick death of PII when the Katmai comes out. But then who would want to pay 2X just for the 3DNOW Copied?
