Brian, That article is so anti-Intel and pro-clones it is not even funny. Bottom line is this: the K6 and whatever Cyrix has to offer will be competing against the Celeron and they will have to meet the price in order to compete. The fact that Compaq is a promoter of Celeron is not a good sign for the clones!!! joey

Brian - A little reality for AMD's Notebook K6 CPU Paul {===================} zdnet.com "One casualty of Intel's pricing moves appears to be rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc., whose 233MHz K6 processor was being used by WinBook Corp., of Columbus, Ohio, in one of its notebooks. Following Intel's announcement, however, WinBook began offering the same model, the WinBook XL 233, with Intel's 233MHz Pentium MMX processor, citing greater demand for that processor from users.The $1,199 WinBook XL is configured with a 12.1-inch dual-scan display, 16MB of RAM, a 1.6GB hard drive and a 20-speed CD-ROM drive.

Brian, re: Ziff Davis article on Celeron. (http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/content/pcwo/0430/312039.html) I read the reader's feedback on the bottom of the article. Of 9 comments FOUR readers specifically recommended buying an AMD K6 instead THREE readers agreed that the Celeron stunk but made no specific rec. TWO readers thought the Celeron was good for home use I posted my own response (not included above) pointing out that techno-gamesters who originally thought the Celeron was good for them have now found out that Intel has disabled overclocking it. We'll see if it gets through the editors. Petz
