Bill, 100 Mhz FSB Celerons might cannibalize P3 sales... I suspect that's why Intel is holding out... Once they go to 100 MHz FSB on the new Cellies, they've got only the 1/2-cache (at lower associativity) separating the Celeron from the P3... And given the continuing low volumes of P3s at higher clock speeds, (yes, Elmer, I know you don't believe this), I think they might be shooting themselves in whatever limb they have left. Doug

But what does it mean to say that 8x is the highest multiplier available? Intel processors are all multiplier-locked (not clock locked, I mistyped the first time). I even have a Pentium 133 that's multiplier locked. It's not a settable parameter, so what does a motherboard have to do to support it? Cheers, Dan.
