This is to broad a statment, most thing I have run it is about the same as the PII at the same clock speed. A few programs are a bit slower, but for chess programs it runs most of them much faster. For Hiarcs 7.32 it is without a doubt the best chip for this program over the K6 and the PII. >The pros is that you can easily afford a higher clock speed. :-) > >A Celeron 500 is cheaper than a PII 400, but *much* faster for almost any >program. > > >Bo Persson >bop@malmo.mail.telia.com
