If you trust Norton, and believe the number, did you feel your celeron
machine is three time slower than a P2-450? I don't think so, a Celeron 500
should be faster than P2-450 in almost any task. You should be able to get
ZDnet benchmark 99 for free (from magzine cover CD or other source), even I
don't like ZDnet test at all, but at least it is far better than Norton.
Many game demos can be used for benchmark, if you play games, you shouldn't
have any problem to run those test.

I have no experience with Pine mobo, but if it is designed for Celeron only,
it may only run FBS at 66mhz, I'm pretty sure your mobo does not run at
100mhz (plug in a P3-600E, see what happen).
