P3 600B with 64Mb AGP Video VS Cel 800 on-board video?

Trying to find out which one would be better system to run as a file server and download.....which one would be more solid?

Video doesn't matter for a fileserver. If you can, put the Celeron in the PIII system.

Close call but I think the Celeron is faster...Let me see some benchies first.

Didn't find any benchies where a Celly 800 is with a P3 600B, but found this THGCPU roundup, where a 600EB is very slighty faster than the Celly 800.

The verdict? Celeron 800 is faster than the 600B, given that the 600B is guaranteed to be slower than a 600EB.

EDIT: After a closer look at the tiny bars, the 600EB is faster than the Celly 800 by 10% in Q3 640x480, so I say it's a draw between a Celly 800 and 600B.

The celeron 800 was still a 66fsb part iirc. I'd imagine the P3 will be faster, if anything. (If it's a 100fsb celeron, then it will probably be faster than the P3 by enough to measure, if not notice).

For your purposes, stability and maybe I/O will be more important anyway; what are the motherboards/chipsets of the systems in question?

Not necessarily, the 600B is still pretty close to the old rule of thumb of keeping the multiplier not much higher than 5; the 1000EB was considerably faster than the 1000B, but at 600mhz it probably doesn't matter much.

edit - if you look at the non-gaming benchmarks, the celeron cleans up in mp3 encoding, while the p3 comes out ahead in the winrar benchmark. The bigger concern is probably still which one, if any, is on a better platform.

Celeron 800 is the first celeron to be blessed by Intel with a 100MHz FSB. I still remember it very clearly till now :)
