Jim: <<This is not a trick question, I have ideas but not exactly sure. Could it be that HP sees the Celeron and K6-2 grasping different markets?>> I can answer this question. HP and all OEMs realize that 3DNow is a powerful technology. Everyone is jumping onto the bandwagon. Software are writing 3DNow games furiously trying to meet the Christmas deadline. K6-2 with 3DNow will be the hottest product for the rest of the year. Intel has no comparable product to compete. Thus HP is adding the K6-2 to get ready for the Christmas to maximize their revenue. Furthermore, HP realized that Intel can no longer punish them to buy non-Intel products. If they do HP will call up the DOJ to complain right away. Maxwell
