Kevin, Maybe Intel is having trouble yielding 266 Mhz Celeron parts. Intel is recycled the rejected PII-333, 350, 400 parts and make them as the so-called Celeron-266. It is a smart financial move from Intel, IMHO. :) Thank you, Intel!

Let's add some logic into this. If Intel has no problems yielding Deschutz with L2 cache, then Celeron which is Deschutz without the L2 cache would not have any yield problems. Remember the 486SX which was a 486 without the math coprocessor? Despite all the ridicules by the analysts then, 486SX played a major niche of the over-all business plan which excelled Intel over the competitions. Now, we have this Celeron which is a Deschutz without L2 cache. Again despite all the ridicules (what is new among all that jealousy of Intel's success), this chip actually does play a major role in the market niche it is designed for (sub-$$$ PCs), just like the 486SX. Well, the history always repeats itself. Just ask Time Traveler. Does anyone have info on Intel wafer capacity? Try 20K wafers per week. After running the numbers, please share with us exposing any myths you come across. Time Traveler
