Paul Twiana asked about choosing between a Celeron and Pentium III processor, and received what was probably a good technical answer. My experience, as differentiated from technical analysis, is below. I have a computer I built with a Celeron 500 processor. It got a score of 91.9 on a bench test. I have another computer I built with a Pentium III 900 processor. It got a score of 449.9 on the same bench test. Reference figure on bench test was 204.8 for a Pentium II 450 system. Point was made all bench tests do not score alike. Same bench test was used for both systems. Another bench test verified score of subject bench test. I realize components other than processor may affect performance. Components are listed below. Celeron 500 Pentium III 900 96MG RAM 128MB RAM 6.4G Hard Drive 40G 7200rpm Hard Drive Pine mobo, SiS chipset Creative mobo, Intel chipset SiS 8MB onboard PCI video AOpen 8MG AGP video The Celeron system performs satisfactorily. However the bench test score was disappointing, particularly compared to the score of the reference Pentium II 450.
