Gerald, I assumed that since all other aspects of the process were the same and they wanted the highest speed memory for the full speed cache they would make them as fast as they could and only their desire to avoid parasitising P-II 400-500 stopped them from making the celerons fast. the fact that they have been reliably overclocked for long thermal equilibrium tests makes me thing that the step up for the celeron to 450-500 next year will be a walk. Of course the P-IIs will be onwards and upwards. It is interesting to see if they speed balk is on the associated surface mount board and not on the CPU and if so there may be board jumpers to make then run at 100 Mhz bus speeds as the slower celeron dows with the tape(did).
