Elmer, re:<discussion about Celeron pricing being "predatory"> I agree that at $75 there is still a small profit, but I don't think the price war will stop there. To say there was no development cost for Celeron is ridiculous. Its core CPU is identical to the Pentium II, it uses Intel's latest 0.25µ process and it took them six months to develop the cacheless design. My guess is that Pentium II cores are made on the same production line. If a 0.25µ core chip can't run at 333 or 350 MHz they send it to the Celeron packaging factory. No one has seen the DOJ charges, but "predatory pricing" may be one of them. Petz
