Actually, I would expect the PII/450 to be stronger. I've benchmarked a
number of machines with HIARCS 7 on my 33-problem, 4 1/2 minutes/problem
suite. Your 233 MHz G3 equates to a PII/326, so a PII/450 would be 38% faster.
If you believe the 50-70 Elo improvement per doubling, that would make the
PII/400 about 23-32 Elo stronger than your setup. However, a G3/400 would
be even stronger. I've appended my benchmark data.
