Re: "You must be ecstatic on those Celeron at 300MHz. It is Intel engineering at its best. Keep on touting. Anything more good news you want to talk on Celeron? Have you bought one lately or know anyone who bought one? " I'm not ecstatic and I don't intend on buying one. I just bring those benchmarks out whenever someone makes a foolish claim that the K6xx beats the Celeron at everything. Again this will soon be moot. EP

Maxwell, Celeron is not there to compete against Intel's higher-end processors but for the folks who are overly cost conscious. It is competing against processors that are priced 25% lower than Intel's chips. Since you insist on buying the cheapest processors around, perhaps you should buy one. I, and I believe Elmer as well, would not even consider these low-end junk. I want P-II/400+. Time Traveler

Bought A Celeron. I was in a Sams Club in Grand Forks North Dakota yesterday and there were many more Celeron based systems than AMD systems. I don't get to visit many retail stores selling computers, but if that is played out in many stores the number of Celeron sold will likely outnumber AMD systems by a significant margin. Its really too bad, Intel is ripping off their customers IMO, but I'm not so certain that many computer buyers realize this. What are you seeing in retail stores where you live and are you concerned about Celeron?
