Richard I think that k6 would be viewed as Celery competitor even if the performance would be higher. 3d chip is going to be positioned against pII. I think Intel introduced Celery to buy time until something else comes. They are not planning on making much with it but rather re-establish Intels presense in a low-cost computers Regards -Albert

Richard, Intel will keep the Celeron a couple of speed grades or more behind the Pentium II BUT it will still cannibalize the Pentium II. More so if it's successful. Gamesters want the Pentium II because of the FPU speed but will still laugh at the Celeron even though it will have good FPU speed because they can see through the Intel ploy and will favor the K6-3D. Still some will favor the Celeron. The Celeron could be good for Graphic Artists but how many of them are there? The rest of us don't need a Pentium II...or want the diminished power on mainstream apps of the Celery. Analysis...If the Celeron has good FPU speed like the Pentium II...it will cannibalize the Pentium II...because that's the one good thing the Pentium II has... Translation: Intel cuts it's own throat by cannibalizing the Pentium II... Jim
