Celeron II 667 vs P3 500?

[cjam4]

Which processor would be better for a web/mySQL/DNS server, a Celeron II 667 w/ 128 K cache or a Pentium III 500 w/ 512 K cache? I am thinking that it is the P3, but what do you guys think?

I'd say p3

take the celeron. it's cheaper and has full speed cache

 

[Dark4ng3l]

uh? who said the celeron is cheaper?

Definatly the P3, Databases require alot from the processor and memory. The celeron with a 66 mhz bus isn't fast enough.

P3

Ok, thanks!

I think i will go with the P3.
How does a P3 match up against a Celeron 667@1000 w/ a 100 FSB? Does the cache make a big difference.

If you can hit 100mhz fsb with the Celery, go with that one.
