Maxwell - Re: "Here goes the competition again. K6-2-450MHz will keep ASP up. Intel needs to pull in the Celeron 450MHz in February." You are having memory problems, Max. IT's THE CACHE SPEED ! The 450 MHz K6-2 still has the L2 cache locked at 100 MHz. Intel's 400 MHz Celeron has an L2 cache that runs essentially at 400 MHz - as you already know. As you know, that means the OverCLocked 400 MHz K6-2, which AMD will be disguising as a 450 MHz K6-2, will show mostly INCREASED HEAT DISSIPATION - and very little performance increase. AMD once again forces customers to overclock AMD's older chips (a 400 MHz) to get a "new" 450 MHz CPU. The gamers will love this little dumpling. Paul
