This is patent nonsense and anyone who has reviewed the benchmarks knows it.

The PIII-550E is probably the best value gaming CPU around, but the Celerons
still overclock very well, run as well or better than similarly-clocked PIIs
(obviously apps that use the new instruction sets in the PIII will run
better on PIII) in games and elsewhere, and cost next to nothing.

A Pentium II-350 is not nearly as good a gaming CPU as a Celeron 300A or
above; the Celerons are easy to get up to 550-600 MHz; try that with your
PII-350 and we can compare benchmarks.

Oh, and by the way, your Caps Lock key has an "off" setting - look at the
little green light on your keyboard for guidance.
