Fiondella - Re: "Celeron was a complete fiasco. Already AMD is advertising that it will offer K6-2s at high clock rates and match the lowest Celeron price. " You have clearly missed the obvious. If Intel never sold ONE Celeron, the Celeron would still be a FINANCIAL SUCCESS for the simple reason that Intel forced AMD to price AMD's newest and best and fastest CPU, the K6-2, at Intel's bottom-of-the-PentiumII-Totem-Pole price. Intel has in one fell swoop set the price of AMD's best chip to equal the price of Intel's LOWEST END chip! That is a defensive marketing coup! All Intel needs to do is to lower the Celeron list price and AMD's losses will increase even more. On the other side - how many times have you whined on-and-on that nobody needs Intel's fast CPUs? Offering up a Celeron - with reasonable performance at reasonable costs - should fit your description of a good marketing strategy. It isn't the fastest in all benchmarks - but it sure isn't the slowest - and I'll bet it by far exceeds all the capabilities of your 150 MHz MediaGX box. Paul
