Re: "There was also the famous CELERY jokes. I think all Intel stockholders are still laughing at that one... all the way to the bank!"

I think we can all agree that the cacheless Celeron was a slow piece of sh*t. It was the subject of much derision for just cause.

I don't have any problem with the performance of the Coppermine--in fact I think Intel did a nice job getting it close to Athlon. The reason the Coppermine is a FLOPPERMINE is the pathetic stealth launch. Over a week and still no FLOPPERMINES on Pricewatch over 600 MHz!
