<From a formal logic it clearly follows that it was you who made up the BS about the Celery benchmarking.> Ali, all you or anyone had to do was post a benchmark showing the Celeron performing worse than a 200mhz Pentium. Brian couldn't/wouldn't do it, Ed couldn't/wouldn't do it, and you said you spent 30 minutes looking at all the benchmarks I missed, yet the only link you posted showing a 200mhz Pentium shows the Celeron is faster.. Your Link: tomshardware.com If you claim I make up BS, you must be claiming the benchmark links I posted are phoney, because your link proves me correct. This is AMDite logic. Prove me wrong by posting benchmarks that prove me right. I wouldn't mind if someone found a benchmark showing the Celeron to be slower than a 200mhz Pentium, that's what I expectedr, but despite all the claims, arm waving and shouting, nobody has found one. I'm no fan of the Celeron but it looks like it's better than you guys have claimed. EP

Re: <P.S. It is funny that the term "Intelogic" is accepted as a correct word by SI spell checker.> When I was in High School, I worked for a company called Datapoint in San Antonio TX. They made board level microcomputers (CPU, all other functions built from MSI and LSI parts) w/ built-in networking (Arcnet, a token ring network). When IBM introduced the IBM PC, it destroyed their old market. They did not adjust to the new market quick enough and eventually headed into bankruptcy. The rump company, spun off a service company call Intelogic Trace. Funny enough, the receivers for Datapoint intellectual property recently (1 or 2 ago?) sued Intel claiming infringement of computer based video conferencing patents. Datapoint had a working system back in 1983, that worked over Arcnet with a PC AT (Intel 80286). They sold primarily to medical offices who could afford it.
