Notwithstanding my flippant comment, I can't find a reference to a Celeron II on Intel's website or on Google for that matter. Therefore, I expect you are referring to the Celeron D, which is the .90 version with a faster bus speed and bigger cache. Something they came up with to compete with the Sempron.
Look how old that is! A 600mhz processor? What they are talking about is what eventually became the coppermine celerons. Did you even read that maximus, or did you just do a quick google and post a link up?
That review is great. At least we know the "Celeron II" beats the pants off the new AMD K6-III 450!
and my point is that there is technically NOT a "celeron II" - that was sort of a codename because intel hadn't released them yet. In the end, they were just called Celerons again.
Like, sure, there was also a chip called the AMD Hammer at one point, but it was never a name that was actually applied to a finished product.
I sure would. I reiterate: The celeron "II" that you are seeing on google links is really a coppermine celeron. I have one sitting on my desk (A celeron 700). All it is is a celeron that is based on the p3 core instead of the p2 core of older celerons (like the famous 300A). It was Socket 370 FC-PGA instead of Socket 100 (remember those?). Trust me, there was never a celeron II, it's just what the rumor press called it before it had an "official" name from Intel (namely - "Celeron")
I think you could make a case that if enough people refer to something by a certain name, the name becomes pretty much as valid as the "official" name.
The baseball park here in Cleveland is officially named Jacobs Field. Everyone calls it The Jake. San Francisco is often referred to as Frisco. The Metropolitan Opera House in New York is usually referred to simply as The Met. Would you argue that The Jake, Frisco, and The Met don't exist, simply because those aren't the official names?
So there.

Most Gurus argue that the first Windows OS for home systems was XP. Everything before that was just a file management, and program application shell that ran in a modified version of DOS 6 (still MS, but not 'Windows")...

Intel Celeron II
yeah there is such a thing. ive heard people talking about it. it might not be the official name, but there is something referred to as "Celeron II".

which is the current crop of Celerons.

You wouldn't want to argue with the world's most popular search engine, would you?
