Huh...

The general public cares as much about processors as they care about the OS. They just buy what is in their price range. The only people that care about processors and bus speeds are gamers and geeks, and they already know not to buy a celeron and to get the faster bus speed. This is just another marketing ploy. I can't wait for the questions of "is this 700 better than my P4?" or "is this a new type of computer?" I wonder how many people will go buy a new computer just because they think it is a new type of processor and not just a renamed one.
