Benchmarks for Celeron vs. PIII?

Has anyone done and benchmarking of the Celerons vs. PIII's?

I have a two PIII-800 systems one has a Abit VP6 MB that with only 1 CPU populated. I would like to put both PIII's on that board, however I don't want to loose performance on the second system or spring for another PIII-800, since I feel that they are overpriced.

The alternative is to buy a similarly preforming celeron for a third of the price. None of the reviews I can find on the 1 Gig+ Celerons do any comparisons to the PIII's, only to durons.

Can anyone point me to some numbers?

Thanks
 
I found some benchmarks on pIII, durons, going with the 1.2cell eh but fromw hat i see is that the 1.2 cell kills the 1.1 durons and pIII old
copper core 1ghz- ......so ifya got PIII 800 i go with all cell 1.2 s as i know the duron 1.2 kicks the 1.2 almost in all benchs but you have to
add in what you get with a cell ( cooler, smaller, less power eatting sys ) and for that res I'm building one now.
 
I have a Celeron 633 overclocked to 950 with 100MHz bus, and its Seti@home times are almost exactly the same as the times one of my computers with a Pentium III 800 with 133MHz bus churn out. I haven't done any other comparisons with the machines. I hope that helps somewhat.
 
Thanks for the input. I think I will go with the Cely. At least the price is more reasonable.

Besides I need to save up for a new Athlon XP🙂
 
Make sure the 1.2ghz Celi isn't based o nthe Tualitin core, cuz the old chipsets dont work. Only the i845 (or i8xx, dont remember exactly the chipset number, sorry) supports it.
 
The new Intel CPU´s built on 0.13 Tualatin core (Celeron 1G2, Pentium III-S 1G13, 1G26) require somewhat modified chipset because of different bus voltages. 1G2 Celeron will definitely not fit into any board with Intel 845 chipset, that one is for P4 (socket 478). Chipsets supporting the CPUs with the Tualatin cores are:
Intel 815E(P) - stepping B
some version of Intel 810
VIA Apollo Pro 133T (266T or generally anything with "T" attached😉)
