Re: "Tenchusatsu, the incompatibility of Whitney chipset with the PIII is a big problem for Intel. It will lower demand for the Celeron/Whitney combination knowing that the motherboard is not upgradeable." Plus the PIII will be a low end solution sooner than Intel thinks once K7 hits the market! <GGG> Kevin (The above idiotic statement was dedicated to Joey Smith, low basis owner of both AMD and Intel. Incidentally Joey, if you own AMD at 14, why didn't you sell it when it hit the low thirties back in December/January? You sure have owned AMD a long time!)

<It will lower demand for the Celeron/Whitney combination knowing that the motherboard is not upgradeable.> Upgradeable to what? Whitney itself is based on the concept of integration, not upgradeability. Why would anyone want to pair up a high-end Pentium III with a not-so-high-end Whitney chipset whose graphics system (another thing you can't upgrade, by the way) is just below the level of yesterday's TNT?
