[CLUE-Tech] Celron v. PIII on Linux

[Adam Bultman]

SHouldn't be that much of a difference. I was always told that the Celeron
was the same architecture, but with a smaller cache, and slower bus.  I
have a celeron 366 with a 66 MHz bus, and I overclock it to 550. IT
performs about the same for most things, but it games, the PIII does have
a bit of an edge.  The Celeron doesn't seem to do as well with heavy
graphics like games and such.

For the stuff you are doing: Shouldn't make a difference.  However, you
might consider an Athlon for the price of a celeron, and more power.  Oh,
well. I like my celeron, it does just fine (it's my mail/www/db server at
home)  and it does just fine.  I have couple of celeron servers at work,
(mail and dns) and they do just fine.
