Investor A, RE: <<A better comparison of Celeron vs PII is 386SX vs 386DX. With 16-bit data bus, the performance degrade from 386DX to 386SX is terrible just the same way as the change from PII to the cacheless Celeron.>> Seeing the comparison you made, I believe DragonBoy may be right. Intel may not be hurt by selling both a Yugo and a Lexus. Had selling a low end chip like the 386SX and the 386DX at the same time hurt Intel they would have have never sold the 486SX & DX version at the same time. Using that same thinking, the PII and the Celeron should not pose a problem for Intel. .....Dave
