TGPTNDR, Re: "What's the difference, except for the name, between the Pentium III Tulation 1.1G of October 1 and the Celeron 1.1G of October 2?" The 1.1GHz Pentium III used the Coppermine core, not the Tualatin core. Additionally, the 1.1GHz Celeron also uses the Coppermine core. 1.2GHz is the only speed where it uses the Tualatin core. The 1.1GHz Celeron differs from that short-lived 1.1GHz Pentium III by having 128KB of L2 cache, as opposed to 256KB. Both were at 100MHz. The 1.2GHz Pentium III and 1.2GHz Celeron differ by the front side bus speed, the former being at 133MHz and the latter being at 100MHz. What's the difference, besides that? It is all just a name, and marketing, from my perspective. However, if you want to be consistent, when Intel talks about a Pentium III cross-over, they mean the product that they call Pentium III, which excludes similar Celeron branded parts. wanna_bmw
