Having trouble deciding between Celeron and P3

[beller6]

Can't decide which to use. I am building another system. I have the Asus P2B, I am getting 128mg pc-100 8ns, a Matrox Millenium G400 max, etc. Now I can't decide between P3 450 or the celeron 466. Any suggestions?

well if u have the money then go for the P3 it is easely overklocked and has is about 25-35% faster on sertain function due to SSE this is from personal experience intel says that is is a 70% difference

otherwise i would recommend the celeron it has great value/performance but i dont like it because of the fact that is has less cache than the P3

Thanks Skywalker, I am going for the p3

[skywalker[TSG]]

great im glad i could help you

the main fact that i higly recomended the P3 was because of the G400 card this had me thinking that u will be playing some kick *** games and perhaps do some 3D animation
and it is here that the P3 really kicks @$$

[skywalker[TSG]]

the 25-35% speed increase was from some comparisons of a P2 450 and a P3 450

Thanks Skywalker (lol Love that name), I do want to play the new games fast, plus Love the idea that I can kick ****. Am searching around now for the best price for the P3.
Will let you know what happens.
