<Just judging from some of the Athlon overclocking tests, PC100 seems to do pretty well through 750MHZ or so.> That's like saying PC66 does pretty well through 500 MHz, as demonstrated by the Celeron 500 with its huge 7.5x multiplier. To me, that's pretty astounding. I'd expect Celeron to access memory a lot because of the small size of its 128K cache. But we do know that when Celeron moves to PC100 (and the 100 MHz bus), there will be a difference in performance. Likewise, I'm pretty sure that when Athlon moves to better memory technologies, there will be a difference in performance. And as an Intel guy, frankly that concerns me. Tenchusatsu
