Fastest PIII ever?

[jcool]

Yeah 1:1. I thought you were trying to achieve the highest clockspeed possible?
If you are looking for the most in absolute speed, I'd think there is no way around a tB1 1,4Ghz P3-S. It's way faster than a Tualatin Celeron even at lower clockspeeds, due to the 512K L2, lower L2 latency as well (0 namely), the HW data prefetch unit also seen in the Athlon XPs and many more things.

I frequent a German HW forum called tualatin.de, it evolved around the Tualatin core CPUs in 2002.
Nowhere on the web is there a more comprehensive collection of articles, comparisons and reviews about Tualatin- and P3-related hardware.
I remember reading that a Celeron would need like 300Mhz more clockspeed to match the P3-S.
