Well actually I heard that Intel was not even putting the PII logo on the
SEC2 carts (which is what those half PII half Celeron carts are called, BTW
PII's are available now in mostly SEC2 also, their cheaper that way) because
they don't want PIII to be associated with Slot1, they are planning Some
sort of PPGA package but it wont be Socket 370, it will be more like the
socket of the Pentium Pro. Now I am not saying that this is the way it is
going to be, but is what I have heard from various sources.
