Denni - Re: "when will the celeron chips/chip sets support pc100 at full speed? "

That's a tricky marketing decision.

Intel has to keep some performance "distance" between the high end Celerons and the Pentium II's in order to maintain the Pentium II pricing structure - and right now the front side bus/memory speed is the main lever here.

In late Q2, Intel should introduce the Camino chip set (820) that will run with a 133 MHz bus and DDR as well as Direct Rambus memory.

If Intel can get this to be adopted readily with the 450, 500 and 533 MHz KATMAI chips, then Intel can bump up the Celerons to 100 MHz FSB - and the Pentium III/Katmais with 133 MHz buses will still have a speed advantage.

My guess is that this (100 MHz Celeron FSB) may happen in Q4 of this year - 133 MHz Katmais should appear late Q2 of this year.
