Congratulations, You just performed what's known around here as a PF sampling of ONE. Also know as a complete waste of time. Those Best Buy, Circuit City sales people would listen to anything anyone says and just nod there head. For those of you that remember one put Vinod, we now have one person poll PF too. I guess your poll means that AMD will not continue to lose $, I will sell my INTC tomorrow and put it all on AMD. I made sure to send that Celeron 300 news to you because you are the only one that carries on about what a piece of trash it is, well if it's SO bad why are all the major OEM's using it ? And I believe you took a position in Intel right about the time Celeron came out. jim

<<300 MHz can't repair the damage this laughing stock chip has done to Intel.>> Jim, I agree Celeron was a joke. It was outright pathetic by Intel standards. But Intel has a history of making money. They had to consider the effects of offering a product in the sub 1k market. Intel was careful about not cannibalizing their high end products. I think they got it right with the 300MHz Celeron version, while offering faster PII's for the high end. CPQ, Cyrix and AMD on the other hand jumped right in the Sub 1k market without fully grasping the ramifications of increased competition and outright price wars. When it came to making money, Intel was the one with business acuity. Dale
