The K6-2 at the same speed as a new celeron will sell better if it has the same computing capcity as it will be cheaper, both the CPU as well as the motherboard. Bill

CeleronA Benchmark: Go to intel.com I use this benchmark and the K6-2 benchmark from Tom Hardware. The two systems are different but I normalize Tom's benchmark to Intel benchmark. CPU...........Winstone 98 (B)....Winstone 98 (HE)....Norton Si 32 Celeron300--------15.4-----------------23.2----------------88.8 CeleronA300-------19.3-----------------29.1----------------100.2 CeleronA333-------19.9-----------------30.2----------------104.6 K6-2-300----------23.2-----------------32.8----------------????? PII-300-----------23.4-----------------34.8----------------145.3 PII-333-----------24.6-----------------38.5----------------160.4 PII-350-----------25.6-----------------38.6----------------169.6 PII-400-----------27.1-----------------41.2----------------193.6 As you can see on pricewatch.com the CeleronA333 is selling for $235 and K6-2-300 is selling for $120. The CeleronA333 is still a very slow system. Had the FSB is 100MHz then the number is closer to PII at same clock speed. Small L2 cache seems to take a toll. I am disappointed with the new Celeron. How about you? Maxwell
