Jim, <Celewrong - I am waiting to see what happens.> I can tell you what will happen. Intel is trying to play old cards, like 486SX game. The difference now is that the Celewrong will be labelled as "266MHz" on the market. Todays market is full of confusion: buying public just cannot distinguish the tiny letters "II" on computer labels. People will be blinded by the shiny "266" label and buy the cheap computer not realizing that they are buying a crap that performs below outclassed 200MHz machines. When they will realize this, a class-action lawsuit will be in order. However, Intel will gracefully settle it down by offering $10 rebate towards an upgrade to next Muddlecino processor. Just a standard tactics of public deception. Nothing else. And Paul Engel is the best prophet of this tactics. BTW, Thanks for the clever name - Cele-wrong. Ali
