Not only will Pentium IIIs be faster than Celeron chips, the chip will come with technological enhancements, such as a speedier system bus and additional multimedia extensions, that won't come to the Celeron line until at least 2000. The chip will come to market in early March, say sources, riding a multimillion dollar ad campaign After you strip away the marketing nonsense, there isn't much to differentiate Celeron, PII, PIII, and Xeon for the typical business user. How much longer will Intel be able to propagate this nonsense? Can anyone on this thread detect the difference between a machine that scores 27 on Winstone and one that scores 32? I doubt it. Scumbria
