Better FPU and more cache than that silly little celeron...

PIII 1.0 GHz 100FSB
Or
Celeron 1.4 GHZ 100 FSB

I do not know what those guys answering 'P3' as the faster chip are thinking. I am, in fact, a little embarrassed to see that those responses are coming from people with quite senior status.
P-III 1Ghz running on 100Mhz FSB has Cuppermine core with 256k Cache.
Celeron 1.4Ghz running on 100Mhz FSB has Tualatin Core with 256Mhz Cache.
Basically, Tualatin Celeron 1Ghz with 256k cache performs pretty much identically to Cuppermine P-III 1Ghz on 100Mhz bus. Celeron 1.4Ghz is 400Mhz faster than them.
P-III 1.4Ghz on 133Mhz FSB with 512k Cache is of course faster not because of the Pentium name but because of the faster FSB and larger cache.
Tualatin Celeron 1.4Ghz is the fastest S370 chip to run on 100Mhz bus motherboard such as those based on Intel 440BX given that the motherboard supports Tualatin converter.

hmm, no!
both the p3 1GHz & the celeron 1.4GHz have 256kb on-board L2 cache.
the celeron will beat the p3 because of speed & the fact that it has prefetch while the p3 hasn't!
btw the celeron is a tualatin core.

Well, I installed the Celeron in my old Dell and it is a bit faster than the 1 GHz PIII. Thanks for your help guys

And you can probably sell the 1Ghz PIII and get almost enough money to pay for Celeron 1.4 and Tualatin adapter.

yup i'tll oc a little to boot. though 1.4 is hard to oc. my 1.1a celly's both went to 1.5ghz easy at 133mhz bus.
