Jim , re. Intel's annonucement that Celeron 400 is 20% faster than Celeron 333 . If that is true how does C-400 compare with PII-400 ? According to PC World january edition the average PC World bench score for four PII-400s tested calculates to be a score of 206 . 20% extra performance for the Celeron would be 215 . So Intel in its greed for the whole market is now stabbing themselves in the back since the only way they sell PIIs at an appreciably higher price is by selling much higher clock speed PIIs . To be able to sell PII at their usual premium over Celeron they would need 550 mhz parts at least, Brian PS I wonder of those Celery 400s are actually 333 mhz parts that Intel is lowering their standards on since the Celery 333 overclocked to 500 the same as K6-2 400 . Also I believe that Engel is having a nervous breakdown judging from the frenetic posting today <vbg>
