The *new* Celeron 300A and 333, on the other hand, is very much faster and gives you an excellent price/performance ratio. The 333 gives you a performace somewhere between an old PII/266 and a PII/300. At around $200, that is not bad at all! Of course a PII/450 is 50-100% faster, but will cost you something like $600-700. Bo Persson bop@malmo.mail.telia.com
