Tim,
RE:"My point is if you are fortune 500 company IT want to buy a
mid-high end x86 system. PII's and Xeon's are what you are
going to get. Because there is no other chip above 350Mhz.
Unless you want bet your job on a screwdriver shop."
Apparently, Intel has be drilling this segmentation thing into its employees.
I don't think that just because you are a fortune 500 company you will want to waste money putting Pentium IIs on your secretaries desks when a Celeron A is overkill. Many large businesses buy from screwdriver shops, BTW...
I'm sure Intel will be able to pull the wool over some peoples eyes but don't be surpised if the Celeron A blows the Pentium II out of the water.
