Jim - RE: "First Celeron 400s coming through the vendors at $185..."

I read today that the first Celeron 400s are going to be slot based.

"Intel introduced their SEPP (Slot 1) 400MHz Celeron processor today, though many distributors do not yet have them in stock. The PPGA version is expected in February. "

Looks like Intel upped the release date of the Celeron 400 and they don't even have the new form factor!!! Wasn't that supposed to be the BIG thing about the new Celerons? I bet they just changed the part that labels each chip and made each potential 300A become a 400!

Jim - Re: "AMD putting on the pressure with K6-2-400 at $159...
How low can it go...."

Much lower.

Much much lower.

But the K6-3 will save the day won't it, despite its larger die size !
