RE:"I don't get it! Who in his right mind would prefer a PIII 733 to an Athlon 1000...?" I think the Athlon prices are OEM prices and the P-IIIs are going at retail. Big OEMs can't be paying the same fore a P3-733 as for a Athlon 1000. As for the Celerons, I don't think Intel cares as much about supplying the retail cahannel as they do providing some for big OEMs...and even then I don't see why they would push Celerons too hard there either since a Celeron costs the same as a P3 to make...
