I don't know whether the following is true or not, but I have a PIII/450 machine running next to a Celeron 466 at work, and as far as I can tell the Celeron is a bit faster .. I have run a couple chess programs on these on off-hours and confirmed that the Celeron has a small edge. So I agree about Celeron being a very good value. But if you really want performance, get an Athlon. --Jon On March 20, 2000 at 06:55:26, Graham Laight wrote: >I have read that Celerons are made on the same production line as Pentium 3 >processors. > >To turn a PIII into a Celeron, apparently they just disable 128K of the 256K >on-board cache. > >If this is true, Celerons represent very good value for money, PIIIs represent >very poor value for money, and Intel's marketing dept deserve praise for selling >Pentium IIIs at such a high price! > >-g
