In an on the cheep upgrade... I opted for a Pentium 111 - 450MHz w/512
over the slightly faster Celeron 500MHz w/128

Do you think this was the right desicion...?
What do you think...?

214205 2004-02-10 02:40:00 You picked it right. On chip cache makes a big difference. Pheonix (280)
214206 2004-02-10 03:27:00 put it this way....

when i did some benchmarking years ago a celeron 700 was running about the same as a pentium2 350 (quake3 timedemo1)

good choice :-)

214207 2004-02-10 06:08:00 Great choice! my friend has a celeron 700 and it runs the same speed as my 266mhz server. My p3 500mhz is also faster than my other friends celeron 1.4ghz. It's Pentium all the way dwnz2003 (5250)

Fascinating :-)
Considering a celeron 1400 (which i assume is a tualatin celeron) is for all intents and purposes is a p111 running at on a 100fsb instead of 133 fsb
