Bill, first this from you: "This Celeron will easily defeat all but the fastest Pentium IIs (400 Mhz up)" Now this: "Gene, Only 32K L1 cache, not 128K, no comparisons to the P-II, This looks good for AMD as it is only 25% better than the early Celeron which was a dismal failure." Make up your mind. Is it better than most Pentium II's, or barely better than the old Celerons? Actually, to me, the purpose of the two Celerons introduced today is to jack up the performance of the Celeron family. The graph Gene brought in says it all...they have. intel.com The new Celerons are standing tall compared to the old ones. At $139 and $179 in quantity (recall, don't quote me) they look like a very good buy to me. Also, Intel quality, reliability and brand name go a long way. Tony

Bill, Re: This looks good for AMD as it is only 25% better than the early Celeron The last K6-2 300 review Tom Patsy did also was only 25% better than Celeron 300. However, this is not a fair comparison. I would wait for a 'controlled' review. Gary
