<<I have a Celeron 300A overclocked to 400. I have not kept up with the latest CPUs>> Perhaps we should break out the screwdrivers and fire up the building program again. Look what the Lad up in Vancouver, B.C. is doing with the Celeron 366, socket7, with an adapter connected to the Slot 1 in the BH6 Motherboard.( 550 mhz ). cgi.ebay.com, check out his feedback. Seems the reserves are met in the 150/200 dollar range. Click on his Other Auctions and highlite the items to get a feeling how high to bid. cgi.ebay.com, this is the convertor card going for 16.90 if a person is inclined to go on his own. I have enough stuff left from last winter's buying bing that one of these combos would complete the project.(contacting the Home Finance Department right away), <G> Regards, /jw

What distinguishes the PIII..full speed cache??? No, the major difference between a PII and a PIII is the 70 new and additional SIMD, single instruction multiple data instructions, the PIII has the PII doesn't have. The new SIMD instructions improve the PIII's ability to handle streaming audio and video and speech recognition applications. For more information on the PIII see: developer.intel.com For more information on the PII see: intel.com I have seen a news article saying Intel will be coming out with a PIII in the fall or 1999 running at 600 Mhz, a front side bus speed of 133 Mhz and a 256K on chip cache and will cost approximately $700. Existing PIII's have a front side bus speed of 100 Mhz and a 512k cache located in a separate chip in the PIII's cartridge. The 512k cache in the existing PIII's, as of July 1999, operate at one half of the CPU's clock speed, same as PII's.
