Faster CPUs are great but INTC wants you to buy a Pentium III and not a Celeron - this is a problem for INTC as I bet people are buying the cheaper and less profitable Celerons over the Pentium III's. Even if they are making money on the Celeron (which I don't know) they are making much less than if they sold the same number of Pentium III's PLUS their revenue is likely only 20-30% as much (if that). All this faster net thing needing faster MPUs is still a few quarters (maybe years?) away.
