Tenchusatsu:

<<If you still don't believe me, witness the ratio of Pentium II ads to Celeron ads in the media (TV, magazines, etc.). It's about 9-to-1 in favor of Pentium II.>>

It really doesn't matter how many adds Intel is advertising. The question is how much of manufacturing capacity has Intel shifted from PII to Celeron. I am sure Intel has utilized more fab capacity to build the Celeron than the PII. Don't tell me that if Intel ships 8M CeleronA then Intel will ship PII of 9X CeleronA. The real reason that there is a shortage of PII because Intel has shifted significant portion of their manufacturing to CeleronA. What Intel has done is to accelerate the demand of inexpensive PCs. As consumers become more aware of PCs and realizing that the PCs will be obsolete in 6 months no one will be willing to buy an expensive computer.
