Did you bother to check the specs of the chip? In fact, Ace's hardware (http://www.aceshardware.com) has already known about this for at least 6 months ans there has been a comparison between the Celeron, K6-2, K6-3 and K6-2+. Let's not forget that although the K6-2+ is supposed to be a mobile CPU, it can also be great for people who ALREADY have SS7 systems and would like to hang on to their systems for a while longer. By no means would I recommend this to someone who is looking for a new system but it is a quick and cheap upgrade (less than $100). For the record, this CPU is.18, and is not actually a K6-2 but a K6-3 (meaning it has on-chip cache - 128k). The K6-3+ is supposed to have 256k cache on-chip.
