Re: "Only a total idiot would not expect Intel to release these grades as soon as inventory of obsolete P-IIs are cleared out or the marked gets flooded with K6-400 parts." Exactly. Every extra speed grade of Celeron that Intel releases is money straight out of Intel's pocket--money that could have been made if Intel could continue to sell PII at that MHz level instead of Celerons. Intel expected AMD to hit the market with loads of 400 MHz chips in February--the fact that the Celeron 400 came out in late December was because Intel had to face the reality of AMD dumping loads of 400 MHz parts THREE MONTHS EARLIER than Intel had predicted!
