Pentium II lacks killer software news.com It looks like Quake one of the few reasons to buy P-II. But then, if all you want is Quake, you can buy Celeron for $155. If you look at the benchmarks on Tom's web site, Celeron looks like a pretty good chip. It runs all the business apps as well as Pentium 200 (which is all you need), runs Quake as well as P-II, can be overclocked to 400 MHz, and is pretty cheap. I think if the news gets out, it will be a victory for Celeron, but a major problem for Intel. Let's see: 100 million Celerons at $100 a piece equals $10 billion. Not bad for one chip, but terrible revenue for the entire CPU business. Joe
