Paul,
I took one of the E-machines Celeron 300s apart. Rage II and sound on the mobo, pci winmodem, 1 stick 32 meg sdram, 2 pci clots and an isa open. Seagate 32. gig 12ns HD. Actually the machine was pretty snappy.
The M-II ($399) version was sold out weeks ago and the Celeron (499) version is flying off the shelf. It ain't the chip it's the price. Actually it's now worst a computer than a Packard Bell or low end HP..
These are a joint venture between tri-gem and a korea monitor maker.
I reported this on the Intel thread weeks ago but nobody cared. Lots of Brain deads over there.

Re:E-Machines must have bought a ton of the cacheless cheapo, cheapo productions.

I think you are right a usual Paul. I here Intel is so anxious to dump those processors that they are selling them by the ton. Just the way they buy and sell all scrap metal. Just how many Celerons are there in a ton?
