Spurious, AMD's Copy of DISPOSABLE chips is around the corner...One can pick em up at the dumpster just outside of AMD. NOTICE, most comparisons are done with systems with 512K L2 cache, not with 256K L2 which are in the low end K6 systems... He he he he he.. K6-266 will have to be sold for less than $100. Because it needs an expensive L2 cache to match the performance of the Celeron. Stockman

Kevin, <The [Celery based] Deskpro EP 6266's Winstone score--15.3--was a bit lower than that of the average 233-MHz Pentium MMX PC..> All this is really funny: I was under impression that the Celery is supposed to compete with K6, not with their own Pentiums. As a PentiumMMX replacement, all reviews are very conclusive: the Celery is no good for business. As to compete with K6, the articles made no attempt to compare... They are obviously trying to guard the truth that a vanilla K6-166 beats the super-duper Celery-266 on Ziff-Davis Business Benchmarks. Regards, Ali
