steve, Yes NT is trouble for games and win95/98 can't use the second cpu. That will all change with win2K, dual cpu capable and direct X6/7. Of course the Celeron available next year will have the coppermine core, simd and all the goodies, chipsets will support agp 4x, eide dma/66, 100Mhz fsb and such. Problem is, will Abit make a new MB to handle dual celerons. Things just keep moving along.

I must correct a mistake I have made. Pentium 3s have a unique "processor serial number", not a "personal serial number" as I have stated previously. support.intel.com "Processor serial number is a persistent, non-modifiable, identifier which applications can use to provide stronger identification of the processor and, with similar identification factors such as username and password, the system and user." I hope the Coppermine Celeron II doesn't have this feature. That's how the P3 processor "enhances the internet experience", by providing "identification factors". Still digging for scraps...... steve
