Joey are you on war path against AMD/CYRX shareholders? :-)) Amd is already offering sub-500 pc in Houston local shops with very good configurations. Cyrx would offer sub-500 or probably even sub-300 pc by next year. For 300 we can buy a celery m-boad and a chip but sorry there is nothing left for graphics card, modem, hard drive... hmmm.... forget all that, it will not even have a box not even talking of peanut butter :-)) Regarads -Albert

joey, RE: Celery and but i bet it will take away share form AMD/Cyrix in the sub $1k market. Think so? The trend is going in the exact opposite direction of your prediction. With Sony and Packard Bell as the only large OEMs stepping up to the plate so far and the poor performance of the chip, I don't see the prediction panning out. Bob

Joey, Is that version of Celery comes with peanut butter or without? I don't know, but i bet it will take away share form AMD/Cyrix in the sub $1k market... Have you thought of the possibility that the low priced and inferior Celeron 266Mhz would steal the market on the expensive Pentium II market from Intel? After all, these people, preferring Intel processors, are not capable to judge or select hardware correctly for themselves and would take Celeron as a better product than PII since Celeron is newer and have 266Mhz too! Thus, they might choose Celeron over PII when they decide 266Mhz is fast enough. On this run, Intel would shoot its own toe. After these innocents buy these inferior systems back, they might find their systems are extremely slow to run M$ Office or Nescape. A few months later, they would find their systems ridiculously slow when comparing to their friends' K6 or M2, and become aware that they have been ripped off by Intel. They won't buy any Intel Inside systems any longer, and would tell everyone who would listen to stay from Intel systems. On this second run, Intel shoot its own head. I have being holding my breath for the PII-sx debut on April 15th. Ready for the crashes on 4/13 and 4/15? Better fasten your seatbelt tight! It's going to be rough.
