INTEL CORPORATION

There is a company down in Silicon Valley that seems to think it needs to produce more and
more CPUs to push to the public to buy them when they are not needed. Intel has to market
things but when they push so much for things that aren't necessary such as a newer
version of the one before. The company is called Intel and they have a very fast growing
market that they like to have control of. Two weeks after you buy one of their products
they want you to think it's obsolete and not worth any thing anymore and that you need to
go buy the newest and the best once again. They make a variety of chips such as the
Celleron, Pentium (II,III), Xeon, and a few others. 
The Celleron processor has its benefits in the computer age today. It is cheaper and more
cost effective than the other ones out there by Intel. Mainly home users who can't afford
the top of the line systems out for purchase use the Celleron version. The Celleron tends
to come in systems valued less than Fifteen Hundred Dollars. The bus speed included is
66Mhz which is slightly slower than the new 100mhz with the Pentium II 350 and above. The
Celleron can be used for word processing and some games with out 3dfx acceleration. If
you are looking to upgrade than this would not be something your family should be
interested in.
If you are a serious gamer and edit video then you should go purchase a Pentium II,III
system. The Pentium systems are the most widely used and operated home and business
computer used today. There is no difference in the Pentium II, or III until you reach
over 550 mhz which over that clock speed allows the new 133Mhz buss speed. Currently the
bus speed is 100Mhz. However if that is not important to you then you might want to go
the Celeron direction.
The Xeon processor is mailny used for servers and supercomputers. The average Joe could
not afford the this chip as the newest models are as expensive as 2,000 brand new for a
500Mhz chip. The whole system might end up costing 6,000 to 7,000 dollars and most
families cannot justify this for an expense of a home computer. There is a company that
is specializing in top of the line systems ranging in value from 4500 to 14000. That
would really shake up your pocketbook. They also do a great job in the video world of
producing and editing digital video. 
Now there it is, in fact there are a lot of options in the market today. Intel is just
one of the many companies out there. Apple, Sun Microsystems are just a few more that
compete with the Giant. Many however still use the conventional x486 and are very happy
with it. If you don't need all the hooplaw then this might be the best choice for you and
stay with what you have.
