<As an Intel person, do you see a problem developing here? Intel's marketing strategy is based on the idea that PII is worth 2-5 times as much as a Celeron.>

No, I don't see much of a problem. First of all, Pentium III is coming. Second, remember that the Xeon is priced much higher than Pentium II because they target different market segments. Same thing with Pentium II and Celeron. The entire computing market isn't retail, you know. And third, demand drives prices. Even with the eight million Celerons churned out for Q4, people still wanted a Pentium II.
