Paul - RE: "Too bad the 400 MHz K6-2's are still stuck on the shelves - maybe that is why Sanders said CPU sales would be FLAT this quarter." Not bad compared to Intel's expectation of lower revenue due to seasonal factors, eh?

Sorry, Paul, no 400 Celeron's "sold off the shelves." There are no blank spaces where they might have been because they were never there! Stores like CompUSA do not sell their Intel display models unless the model is obsolete or they can't get any more. The fact is, the Celeron 400 is no price threat to AMD if no one wants to sell them and no one wants to buy them: CompUSA: 1 Celeron 400 SKU, 4 AMD K6-2-400 SKU's, no Celeron's on any kind advertised! (It might lower their reputation.) Office Depot: no Celeron 400's available Price Costco: no Celeron 400's available 36 Retail Computer Stores: no Celeron 400's available 4 Retail Computer Stores: sell one Celeron 400 model. thechipmerchant.com, by far the biggest chip retailer in San Diego county: no Celeron 400's Petz

<I am stunned - and pleased - that the 400 and 366 MHz Celeron machines have sold out already. GREAT NEWS for Intel shareholders.> This may be more true than people realize, myself included. Just last week, I found in Costco the $899 HP Pavilion with the Celeron 366 and the very small form factor. I wanted to recommend this system to a friend who wants to buy the cheapest computer that will still be useful for her needs three years from now. Last Sunday, I went to look at this system again at Costco. Lo and behold, it was gone, both the boxes and the display. I don't think it was due to a recall. ;-) Tenchusatsu
