Paul, I don't know about Cyrix but the Celery chip might drive Intel into oblivion. <G> An option for 3D gamers would be to by a BX mobo, PC100 RAM and overclock a Celery to 400/100. Of course it still wouldn't beat a M-II-PR300 on business apps but it would be within 10% of a P-II-400 deshutes on some 3D benchmarks. So maybe the Celery cannibalizes the Pentium II as I suggested a few days back. I doubt however that Compaq, Sony and Packard Bell will support such a feat as they will likely come with EX chipsets and 66MHz RAM. Now Paul, figure out some adapter that lets a Celeron access a L2 cache and we'll really make some money. <G> Jim... P.S...Remember that you once said. "Overclocking is a fools game"...
