Of course it's worth noting that whether they suck or not just about all current processors are i686 (Pentium Pro). I think the AMD K6 series was the last i586 put in many PCs, and though they would often outperform the early Celerons, they wouldn't run software compiled for i686 while the Celerons would.

Its also worth nothing that Celerons have a 128KB cache, while the 'normal' PIII & PIV chips have a 256KB cache. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
