Which would be faster? A PII klamath core 266mhz or a mendicino core Celeron 333mhz? both are slot1

I can probably get 416mhz @ 83 fsb on the celly
Actually, the 333 Celery had 128K of on-die, full-clockspeed L2 cache - while the 266 PII had 512K of off-die, half-clockspeed L2 cache. Furthermore, the 333 Celery's L2 cache has a much greater bandwidth and lower latency than the 266 PII's L2 cache. The end result is that the 333 Celery was definitely faster than the 266 PII; in fact, it was barely slower in both benchmarking and in real-world apps than an equivalently-clocked Deschutes-core PII at stock speeds. But the 333 PII cost twice as much $$$ as the 333 Celery! Guess which was the better value, in very late 1998 and very early 1999 (when both CPUs could be purchased new)?KevC said:Probably the PII, didn't the Celery at the time have no cache? THen again, there was the time where the Celeries were faster than the pentiums. Hmm... I'd take the Celery anyway... I hear those were gems at overclocking.

The 333 Celly is definitely overclockable to 416MHz on an 83MHz FSB with ease (even with a relatively cheap cooler), in my experience when I had that CPU. You just need good-quality memory in order to do so.qb4ever said:Got it, The celly it will be then.
BTW, got the celly in a case ,mobo, and ram deal for free from the local computer store.

darktiger said:...Man I do not think anyone should be doing basic work on a PII 266...
acascianelli said:youd be suprised what trash people are working on in corporate america, some people in my company are still on pentium 200's and 166's. and some machines on the shop floors are still running off 486's.
darktiger said:I can send you a PIII 450 or a PII 450 if you want. Man I do not think anyone should be doing basic work on a PII 266. Unless you are running DOS and Win 3.11 maybe Win98, but with tons of ram.....
