25F,
The PIII Celery was very overclockable and when the PIII was still in the Katami Core, the Celery was within a few %Peroformance, Mhz for Mhz.
But with the corners Intel cut with their PIV, the difference between the two had drastically widened over the years.
Still cannot beat the AthlonXP 1800+ TBred for band for the buck though. Nothing like spending $51.00 on a CPU that you can overclock an additional 800Mhz. (From 1.53Ghz to 2.33Ghz with proper cooling.)
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. I thought it was a very good bit on ingenuity, finding a use for the low yield processors.
