Diep plays at a 800Mhz PIII-cumine at WMCC. A Mhz of a PIII is 17% faster
as the equivalent of the PII. 256kb on die cache kicks butt.

Note that thunderbird must be a hell of a faster even. As it also has 256kb
on die cache, and the K7 L2 at 1/2 speed is 15.5% faster as a PII
and K7 L2 at 1/3 speed.
