Paul,

Intel's CPUs always seem to boot.

Interesting that you would pick up this topic on the same evening that the Intel thread is discussing someone's PII-450 stability problems.

Paul - RE: "466 MHz Celerons selling for $170 each which outperform the $209 475 MHz Kmart 62's.

Customers save $39, save on L2 cache and get a FASTER CPU to
boot !"

Customers usually don't buy the processors, they buy the systems.

And anyways, if a customer was in the know, why would he care if he saves on L2 cache? He would care about speed, but size does matter.
