Hello all,
        I have a question for the gurus of the list.  I have heard that Celeron
chips from Intel are chips that were defective Pentium III s with there
internal cache shut off or reduced to 128 to operate.  Cache was then
placed on the motherboards to compensate for this malfunction.  Is this
true?  I was told this by a fairily knowledgable computer person.  I
would like to confirm the truthfulness of this statement before I pass
this information on to other people that ask me about Celeron chips.

TIA,
Derek Buchanan
