Maxwell, That's the way I see it happening too. Celeron is being branded "rock bottom"...I wonder how Celeron A will be branded? AMD is mid and Pentium II is upper. Amazing, ($83) Celeron 266s for the same price as M-II-300s. Overclockin' game playing kids are gonna love that. They overclock the Celeron 266s to 400 MHz...and they hum right along on games. So between, AMDs K6-2s and the Celeron, Intel loses ther gaming market, and to a certain extent, the bragging rights of how fast the Pentium II runs games. Sounds more and more like Intel is getting sucked down a black hole. How much do you think Intel is making on a 131mm2 Celeron with funky slot 1 packaging if it sells at $83? 25-30 bucks at best maybe? That ought to keep margins down. Jim

re:Looks like AMD didn't blink when Intel dropped the price on Celeron. smart move...watch AMD's market share shrink in sub-$1000 in Q3 as Celeron takes the bite out of K6. Also, I don't think K6 will take any share away from PII on the high-end. AMD looks like its stuck in the middle, and that's not where you want to be according to PC forecasts! joey
