Judith, Re: From everything I've been reading about overclocking in the past few days, there seem to be plenty of people who think you could get along without it. They just somehow forgot to tell you that Celeron 266(Celery what they called) can also be overclocked to run office application as fast as PII 300 or K6-2 300 and beat PII 350 or K6-2 333 when running Quake 2. Have they told you how successful Celeron 266/300 was ? Gary

Maybe I should rephrase, when I say Celeron300+ and Xeon are important, I mean strategically. Celeron300+ is to fend off competition and Xeon to increase margin. The added products also create multiple targets and it is advantagous to Intel which has more resources (hard for competition to create pricing pressure on all fronts). PII is going to be above Celeron and it is no less important to Intel. If you want an Intel system above 333, you will get a PII. The overclock market is small IMHO. In the future, if competitive needs require Intel to have a 400Mhz Celeron, it will be there and PII freq will have to move up. Tim Through my own 0.02$ crystal ball, not Intel's
