Jim - " Intels own benchmarks tell you a Celeron 466 blows away a Pentium III 450, FPU. For a mere third the price.
SSE will have about the same effect as MMX. Looks good but the apps aren't there."

I've seen data that indicates the response to the PIII by the Business Market has been very favorable. One feature, that has been greeted with enthusiasm is the Serial ID feature, available only on the PIII.

Also, it is very early to be calling the Katmai instruction set a failure. I have also seen data recently that indicates the Gaming an Software industry, as well as other 3D Software Developers, are very much into optimizing for the PIII's SSE's.

I don't have any links to share, so I could understand if you feel the need to shoot holes in my assertions, but I stand by them.
