Joey, RE:"My sources tell me Intel will go on a marketing blitz a day before the launch of Celeron II (Aug. 24). Just in time for the Fall/Back to School season! I'm sure no major OEM will want to be left holding the K6 bag <ggg>. How is AMD going to compete with no marketing??? Looks like demand is AMD's problem now, not supply. A much BIGGER problem, imo." Jumping the gun a bit there aren't we Joey? 3DNOW and a load of back to school kids wanting to blast mutant space aliens is enough advertising. Celeron II will be at 333 and the K6-2 will be at 350...and we know MHz sells don't we. Of course there is the Pentium II-450 for $769...so if Mom and Dad are rich they can always buy their kid one of those. <G> All jousting aside, I think the Celeron II will do well...it's the Pentium II you should be concerned about.
