FWIW, that would be my preference too. It's a warm fuzzy to know that the hardware was correctly identified, even if there's no specific optimisations for it. :) > On a related note, I'd be interested in benchmarks for the Celerons, how > does the on-chip cache compare to the off-chip cache. Very well, it seems. http://www.tomshardware.com has a bunch of benchmarks for the Celerons, both overclocked (overbussed) and regular speed(s), comparisons to AMD K6's and PIIs, as well as much interesting information on motherboards, chipsets and CPUs - including why the Slot 1 form factor is already doomed..
