Taken from Intel website


<< The Intel® Celeron? processors at 766, 733, 700, 667, 633, 600, 566, 533, 533A and 500 MHz >>



Why 667 MHz? I feel some superstition in the air :)

Same reason, if you go to a skyscraper, and count the floors, you don't see 13 (I have once or twice) and you also don't see floor 666. Floor 667 is there but not 666. What did they do to it?!

:p

Not too many skyscrapers here :) But it seems that there are so many people who really believe in numbers. IMO &quot;Buy Intel 666&quot; can't be good slogan :)

I've seen buildings with a 666th floor, nothing bad ever seems to happen there, except for that one dude that...I don't really want to talk about it, but besides that one time, nothing happens...save that other...damn it. I guess it is a bad idea to have a 666th floor. 13th isn't so bad though...wait...DAMN!

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but..

&quot;The Sears Tower is the world's tallest building. The stepback geometry of the 110-story tower...&quot;

You don't see buildings with a 666th floor because no buildings go that high :p

The twin towers, are they conjoined twins? Identical or not? :p

I live on floor 666. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to get up there cuz people keep getting on and off...

Ohhh....I think I'll get a 667 and underclock it to 666, so I can have an evil computer :)

so why don't they round up 566 or the 766? They've been rounding down to 6 since 16 as far as I know.

And technically, 666!=satan. It is the number of the beast. Read the Book of Revelations

Yep. I was actually visiting Kuala Lumpur when they were building the Petronas Towers, it was definitely a sight to see. By the way, has anyone seen Being John Malkovich? Freaky movie...
