Jimmy, The following disputes your rather long non-informational post. So now that you are caught in the act of BSing what do you have to say for yourself. Looks like your "noggin" has atrophied from lack of use. Krelle further added that AMD has cured its manufacturing problems. Late last year, the company could not produce enough of its K6 processors. While this glitch was being fixed, AMD started to have problems in producing enough 333-MHz K6-2 chips. Released in late May, most dealers did not have chips until close to August. AMD altered some of the speed paths on the 333-MHz K6-2, which brought volumes back up news.com

Jim, re: "At 350 (K6) while the Celeron A is still at 333 and since these boxmakers don't overclock, the K6 still has a nice niche..." Jim, just to be a pain in the you-know-what and correct your paper like your favorite English teacher, their is no 'A' in the 333 MHz Celeron name. The reason there is a 300A Celeron is to distinguish it from the Celeron 300MHz chip which is sans L2 cache. From Intel: intel.com{homecomputing=channel} Intel R Celeron TM processors 333 MHz and 300A MHz are now available! From Dell (about 1/5th down): dell.com The new Dimension R V series is available with either the Intel Celeron 333MHz processor or the Pentium II 350MHz processor. Now don't make this mistake again!
