Dan, Re -- Celeron a superior product to Pentium MMX 233 and PC Mag benchmarks... The article is poorly written and comparison's are made arbitrarily. In some parts of the article Celeron is compared with the P233 MMX, while in other sections it is compared with high end PentiumII's. The PC Magazine is just trying to stir up controversy so people would buy their political rag. Looks like they can't sell it based on the Quality of their articles. In Multimedia tests even the PC Magazine recognizes the Celeron's SUPERIORITY to the Pentium 233 MMX. Stockman

Don, <Celeron looks like a real dog> It looks exactly as PentiumMMX-200, or K6-166 on business applications. Please note that the article carefully avoids any comparison with PMMX-200MHz: they list PMMX/166 (somewhat below the Celeron, to "stress" its "superiority" to 166MHz), and then show mostly 233MMX to give an impression that the one point in scores makes no difference. If you look at IBM 300PL, the Celeron lags behind P-MMX-200: 15.3 vs. 16.5. However, the 300PL could be more loaded with memory and better HD. (Clarification for Stocky: the reference machines are as on Feb 2, 98; there were no 300PL with Peintium-II at that time). Ali
