RE:"Remember, the cELERY, has nothing that compares to 3D-NOW and is actually much less desirable."... Not only that but the small cache of the Celeron precludes it from being a good chip to use with photographic rendering, even adobe acrobat reader.

<Remember, the cELERY, has nothing that compares to 3D-NOW and is actually much less desirable.> Except for the fact that the Celeron is faster on applications than K6-2 can ever be even with 3DNow enhancements. Price is the only factor behind AMD's success in the retail market. I suspect that the rising prices on Pricewatch indicates that there aren't too many K6-2 400 CPUs left for the small resellers, that the big OEMs are gobbling them up. And I'm sure those OEMs still buy K6-2 CPUs at much lower prices than even Pricewatch shows. Tenchusatsu
