OLD processor question, no Core 2's in this one...

[CurseTheSky]

Ok ok... so it's not wicked old, but it's certainly something that hasn't been asked in ages.

I have two processors, both Socket 370. One is a Pentium III 966MHz, and the other is a Celeron 1.2GHz. I believe the Pentium is a Coppermine, and the Celeron is a Tualatin.

Basically, in a nutshell, which is worth using? Either one would is going to be throw into a crappy system with 256MB SDRAM, but I'd prefer to know which would preform better.

Thanks.

There should be no 966MHz version, but only 933MHz and 1GHz. To support 966MHz bus it needs a 6MHz FSB speed .

Thanks.

The 1.2 Celeron.

Oops, typo. It should be a 933MHz. Too bad, I had a 1.0GHz Pentium III in a computer that I gave away... I would have loved to play around with it.

It pains me to see a Celeron chosen over a Pentium, even when it's newer. Something about Celerons just turn me off. But hey, for a project, who cares?

Thanks for the help.
