who would have thought that Intel would be known as "the best cheap CPU" company. I think last time I remember saying this was when the first Celerons came out.

- rbanffy 5y ago> the first Celerons They were not the best CPUs at all
- smcl 5y agoWhat they said was > "the best cheap CPU" company And the Celeron 300A was definitely a contender for best cheap CPU during that pre-Athlon era, especially given how overclockable it was. Later there were also a couple of inexpensive socket 370 motherboards which could accomodate two processors, so a few people had pretty kickass early dual-CPU setups for a good price.
- rbanffy 5y agoI remember the lack of an L3 cache was a real pain. The ones you remember were the later models. The first model was a Slot-1 "cartridge". I still remember the legendary Abit BP-6 motherboard.
