Paul, - I don't think Intel seriously considered a Whitney-type chip until the MediaGX chip set had been on the market for about a year. This would seem to indicate that the Intel approach of putting the graphics on the chipset side is a simpler and faster approach. Scumbria

Well, look for a Celeron\Whitney in a E-Machines near you. Having the video on board (they already have audio on board) should save them another $10-$15 which probably translates into $25-$30 at retail. So down come computer prices again. Clearly Intel is beating Cyrix at their own game now, Cyrix had a 2 year lead and blew it. Intel wins because the Celerons run at relatively higher clockspeeds. PCOAC is Cyrixs last chance but the way the Celeron scales it will come in at least 100MHz slower and we know that MHZ sells-(TM-Mcmannis). Hurray for the consumer. Jim
