Gary, I do not have the figures of how many early celerons sold, but ti was not many. AMD/Cyrix went to town as intel had no cheap CPUs and did not choose to drop fast high end CPUs into that market. Today they will release their pent up stores of the new cached celeron and it remains to be seen if they can overcome the bad name of the first celeron. Next year a socketed new celeron will allow $40-60 to be taken off the motherboard costs with the elimination of the slot 1. This will make it easier for Intel to make way in low costs systems. The highly integrated chips with modem/sound/video on the motherboard will also save system costs. Bii
