Tench, Re: <Your point about the fan is misplaced. The K-2 450's all take >lower power than the old 233's which were introduced not so long >ago.

Tench, The fan and heatsink don't care what voltage or technology they are attached to. The PC is basically a themal heater and the fan/heatsink combo needs to cool it. As far as Intel shipping faster Celerons, I think this will happen. I expect to see 466 and possibly 500Mhz Celery's out there in Q2. I think we all know that Intel has better process technology and that the Celeron seems to have plenty of margin up to 500Mhz. The problem for Intel become positioning/segmenting as the 433/466/500 Mhz Celery will be higher performance than PII's due to on board cache and damn close to the PIII performance. Regards, Kash
