IMO now it's more appealing, because probably it will be very overclockable. Waiting for some articles and benches about it ...

DIY: read, buy, test, learn, reward yourself!

As for the 2GHz Celeron, I'd imagine that it's using the NW core if it's .13micron. This brings up a couple of questions:

1) Does it have 256KB of L2 cache because that is half of NW, or does it stick with the Wilty's 128KB?

2) Is the 2GHz Celeron still using a 100MHz FSB?

3) What kind of a nickname can we give it? (Willy = Willamette, Wilty = Willamette Celeron, Northy = Northwood, ???? = Northwood Celeron) I'm personally leaning towards giving the Northwood Celeron the nickname of 'Woody'. It represents all of the OCers who get a hardon thinking about what they can push their ultra-cheap yet theoretically highly-OCable CPU to reach.

[EDIT]<i>I'm keeping the original 'clickable' down here because it's pretty funny in my opinion.

Northwood is Woody, IMO, because a Woody is preferable to a Willy whenver you want "performance".
