Hello all,

        Recently, I've been checking out the Pentium 3's, and I've discovered that
the price of the Pentium 3 450 is less than that of the Pentium 2 450, which
kind of confused me.  Is this because the Pentium 3's have taken away some
operations and added new operations that don't do as large amount of different
things?  Like, is the Pentium 3 supposed to do more specific operations like
Internet use or AGP use the best and other things worse, instead of doing
everything pretty much the same-like in the pentium 2?  Or, could it just be
that Intel is somehow trying to get the Pentium 3's to sell better so that
they can claim a great success?  Or is there another answer?  I know this
letter must be confusing, and I hope someone understands what I am saying.

Thank You in advance (hopefully),
Matthew Brown
