Re: Is it 3 times as fast as a 500 MHz Celeron PC which costs 1/3 as much ? How about four of those $2,000 Xeons in a multiprocessor server that keeps blue-screening, now there's a good deal! :-)

I don't know but I can tell you that it has more bells and whistles on it than any other machine I have ever seen. Like AMD or not, IBM's machine is impressive. It has nothing to do with the Athlon. It has everything to do with dressing it up.

>>Is it 3 times as fast as a 500 MHz Celeron PC which costs 1/3 as much ? i just bought a hp8560c. i decided to use it to fill the gap until cumine & rambus stabilize and come down in price. it's a nice computer for $799. The HP Pavilion 8560C multimedia PC with Celeron 500MHz processor, 96MB SDRAM, 12.7GB hard drive, internal HP CD-Writer Plus, HP 10/100 BaseT LAN Adapter, 56Kbps fax/data modem with V.90 technology, Polk Audio stereo speakers and a one-touch multimedia keyboard is expected to be available for an estimated U.S. street price of $1,0991 interactive.hp.com i have a couple of questions: does the celeron have a pII core? the data sheet says it uses pc100 memory but i thought the celeron has a 66 mhz memory bus. do i need to use pc100 ram when i upgrade the memory? the one bummer is that there are no free interrupts for the second ethernet card i plan to add. i guess i have to use comm4's interrupt.
