RE: <Last I heard, Celeron 500 MHz is coming out August 1st along with Pentium III 600 MHz. And Celeron is still on a 66 MHz bus, which will cripple its performance on high-end applications that require the memory bandwidth. (That's an incredible 7.5:1 multiplier, for all you tech-heads out there.)> Of course the real problem is that Celeron, PII, K62, K6III at any of the frequencies that they are shipping, any of these chips can actually do anything that 80% of the market actually needs done. So it is like selling asprin. How to keep them paying more for something that doesn't make any real difference.
