Jim,

the 500 MHz Celeron is a done deal. Unfortunately, it still has a 66 Mhz bus.

I don't think the low bus speed will be of much consequence. The bus speed does not affect DRAM latency.

Bus speed is of far more significance for CPUs with off chip caches.

Of course.

That's why Intel can price it below their Pentium II/III line.

And that way AMD will have to match the 500 MHz K7 price to the 500 MHz Celeron price.
