Paul: <<Katmai will suck the air out of AMD's 3DNOW CPUs, and AMD will have to drop prices on these faster than you can say "Jerry's Chauffeured Limousine".>> Yes if Katmai suck the air out of AMD's 3DNOW CPUs then the Katmai gets all the HEAT and the K6-2 will be running COOL. Have you seen the CeleronA lately? CeleronA 333 is selling for $94 and CeleronA 300 for $70. If that was the retail price Intel must be collecting $50/chip for a 140mm^2 piece of silicon with a cartridge. Not too much margin there. By the way, inexpensive computers are in style and demand for such products is selling like hotcakes. Maxwell
