Does this really exist? Here is a snipit from AnandTech's PII review:

"Intel's final admission of their mistake came with the introduction of the socketed Celeron processor that completely removed the processor card design and reverted back to the days of Socket-7 Pentium processors. Intel insisted that this move back to socketed interfaces was for the low-end processors to drive costs down for the newly established sub-$600 PC markets."

If a socket-7 celeron does exist, I have never heard of it at all. Not even on this message board, which I visit daily. Any more info?

The socket celeron is a socket 370 which is not compatible w/ socket-7 since the socket 370 has more pins.
