If anything giving the code-name might be more correct (Klamath, Mendicino, etc). And the cache (which is the only difference between a PII and a PII Celeron) info could be put under the features. The Xenon OTOH is a bit more different and deserves it's own ID string IMO.. - alex | "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern | | technology.
