<Can you link to where he said the Celeron 400 wasn't multiplier locked? Because I was under the impression that all C400's are!>

Tom gets special non-consumer parts where the multiplier isn't locked. There are no Mendocino Celerons whose clock multiplier is locked at 4:1, so the only way he could have ran a Celeron at 400/100 MHz is to use a non-locked multiplier.

<It seems everyone on this board doubts the importance of the bus speed. Put it this way, even if the Coppermine was as good as the K7 (it's not), the 200 MHz non-bus speed of the K7 would put it over the top in a lot of areas vs. the 133 MHz of the Coppermine, even if they were both using the same memory.>

I contend that the 200 MHz bus speed of the K7 is useless if it only uses PC100 SDRAM in non-interleaved configurations. The bottleneck is the port to memory, not the bus speed in this case.

But when K7 starts supporting RDRAM, its 200 MHz bus speed will make better use of RDRAM's bandwidth than Coppermine's 133 MHz bus speed.
