I agree with you Charles, INTC is cutting prices for a reason and I don't think it's because they want to. But, the price cutting isn't helping AMD either. Why is INTC dropping their prices and producing stripped cpu's? (celeron) steve

Chuckles - Re: "Why Intel is dropping prices on its PIII line to compete with non-shipping parts and parts that ship to just one customer is fascinating. May be you have an explanation. Do you?" Sure - Intel is dropping prices on the 450 MHz Pentium /// because they are DISCONTINUING this speed bin - ergo, they are giving them CLOSE-OUT prices. They already have a 500 MHz Celeron. Intel is simply moving all their products UP the MHz ladder - and dumping the slower ones. Couldn't you have figured this out all by yourself? Paul
