Jim- This is not really in response to your post, but I am new and cant find a way to post except in response. I have been lurking on this thread for three years, when I bought my first Intel shares. I have added substantially to my Intel holding, have been through one split and am about to enjoy another. The thing that strikes me about the discussion here is that there are a lot of thin skins (Intel owners) and a lot of envious folks (Scumbria). It is hard to see the Intel owners defending themselves as strongly as they do (after all, we really do own the best company in the world), and the envious folks putting out the crap they do with a straight face. Hey, guys. 2 years from now, Intel owners will be a lot richer than they are now. I know it, Scumbria knows it. The rest of it is pure BS. I do enjoy the technical stuff even if I don't understant most of it. skoobaman

<I'm surprised you'd settle for a Celeron. Doesn't Intel give you guys a Pentium III?> My coworker in marketing was bragging to me that he has a Pentium III 500 MHz workstation in his office. I still have a Pentium Pro 200 MHz. Of course, he does work on the Multi-Res Mesh technology (3D stuff) that Intel is now showing off to the masses, while I simply use my PPro as a UNIX terminal and as a Microsoft Outlook (yuck!) client. As for the Celeron, well, I have a friend in New York who has his own little 3D animation studio. I recently built for him a Celeron workstation which is upgradable to a Pentium III. If I had the time, I would try building a dual Celeron box and see how well it suits his tasks. Unfortunately, I'm all the way here in the West Coast, oh well. Tenchusatsu
