Re: "If Intel has a bunch of Celeron As, why aren't they selling them?" Intel has a history of making their announcements to a backdrop of vendors showing their ware, ready for immediate delivery. Intel usually has already shipped perhaps a million units of a product before they announce. AMD has a history of announcing before they are actually shipping or just as they start shipping. Either style is ok and it explains why Intel hasn't announced the Celeron2 but it doesn't explain why AMD is holding off if indeed the K6-2/350 is really available. EP

Severe shortage on ANY intel chips in Europe.. All intel Cpu's are virtually unfindable in europe now. I have worked at the biggest intel importer in europe, and contacted an ex-colegue of mine to check the current situation. They had to buy old sets of pII from germany to make sure their stock would not dry up. PII is GONE in europe. Celeron are still a few company's who have them in stock, but they try to sell them for much more than a month ago... As for the old p1 mmx, as far as it is available, it sells quite well. If intel would have kept producing socket7 mmx cpu's up to 350 MHz, i think amd would have had much more problems now... smart move intel;) Prices of all intel cpu's are increasing rapidly as the stock piles shrink. How is the situation in USA ? maybe al little delayed ? Because of the much bigger suply , and the bigger stocks.. ? Cyu, Michael da Kota
