Lia* Elmer, Celeron? A name proves that the incompetent dancing scientists were not capable to modify the stolen technology from Alpha Technology for better performance. A chip for the uninformed poor victim. A splendid name to rename an inferior product to cheat the public without hurting the original brand name. A product to ensure the buyers would get less quality if they choose to pay less.

Elmer, <32 bits x 133mhz is the same as 64x66.> No it is not. 133 is not close to 66, and even 66 is not a current 33MHz bus. Although formally each effect of frequency on signal integrity seems to be linear and sometimes goes as a square root, the increase in frequency and rise/fall times trigggers an avalanche of technical problems that are expensive to handle. Mutual inductance, mutual capacitance, overlapped bias currents, skin/proximity effects, ringing/reflections, ground bounce, growing emissions .. the list goes on and on. All this require serious design, need in controlled impedance traces/vias, both-ends terminations, matched impedance connectors and IC packages, tighter PCB tolerances and material properties... That is why the Intel's AGP/PCI-66 "bus" is limited to a single connector only. Ali #2 <Ask your nurse, she'll do the math for you, after all, she's there to help you.> And now shut your stinking mouth up and never show up your ignorant nose again in technical matters on this threads. Is that clear now? - Ali #1 (Disclaimer: the latter remark was solely inspired by the tone of the original poster (Elmer Phud), and is therefore impedance-matched. For those who are too sensitive to the reality of "discussions" regarding investor's matters, feel free to skip this second part of the reply)
