Komrade Billski - Re: "These announcements by marketing partners are just ad offsets since they dropped out of the sky on the same day it was obvious." You are living in a dream land ! Read the following: 400 MHz Celeron PCs are ALREADY in the STORES ! I happened to cruise by the CompUSA computer store this afternoon and LO' and BEHOLD ! CompUSA had two pallets of new HP Pavilion PCs on their showroom floor - one with 366 MHz Celerons ($842) and the other with 400 MHz Celerons ($1179). On their display racks were two fully configured HP Celeron machines - one 366 and the other 400 MHz. Clearly, these have been "in the pipeline" for quite a while ! The 366 MHz Celeron HP Pavilion has very, VERY SMALL form factor - no more than 8 or 10 inches high and about 12 inches deep. Clearly Intel and/or HP has done a complete re-engineering of the motherboard to get it as well as the other peripherals into such a small, unobtrusive box. This was NOT an OVERNIGHT effort by these two companies ! {===============================} Paul
