I have tried to tell you guys this fact many times. they are one chip, all come off the same piece of silicon, only after testing is the decision made as to what to call it, a p3 or a celeron fc-pga, all are coppermines and everything is the same when they are started to be constructed, slight differences in the process is picked out in the testing stage and the decision as to what rateing to print on the cover is made. one die-many chips. I was not aware of the change of the capicators and location, but maybe that is all that they had to do to the p3 to disable half the cache to call it a celeron, the defect that failed the test may or may not be noticeable by us.it sure would be neat to be able to put the celerons back to the p3 at 100mhz clock.
I would even buy another one just to try it.
