<Intel has discontinued the high-cost but underperforming P-II family.> Considering that the Pentium II line is Intel's bread-n-butter, and that it's sold at margins that AMD would kill for, I find it hard to believe that Intel would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. If you still don't believe me, witness the ratio of Pentium II ads to Celeron ads in the media (TV, magazines, etc.). It's about 9-to-1 in favor of Pentium II. Now why would Intel advertise a Pentium II upgrade for Homer's brain if they're going to discontinue it? Tenchusatsu
