I do not understand what is the significance of this data (66 MH and 100MH chip
or 6 lanes and 10 lanes or pII modified chip and coppermine chip) for speed of
programs.

Can someone explain exactly what does it mean for the speed of programs?
(I understood only from reading that big programs like tal do not like the
celeron but I do not understand the reason for it because I know almost nothing
about the structure of the computer).
