P3 600E@? -vs- Celery 566@850

[cjolley]

I am going to upgrade my processor.
The options I am thinking about are the above mentioned ones.
I have 128 megs of Samsung Cas2 GH goodness, but it is only 100mz.
I don't know how far I could get the 600E to go & I can get a pre-tested Celery@850 for about the same price.
Helllllppppppp...... too many options!
thanks
chuck

Thats easy, If your paying the same price for both get the P3 600e. I'm sure it'll o/c pretty well. Anyway i've heard (read) that a CelermineII@850 is about the equivalent of a P3 650 or maybe a little more. Check these out articles from

CelermineII vs. Coppermine

Hopfully this will help you.
Cheers.

Thanks Cancer,
Well, I just ordered a retail PIII 650 Cu Slot1 for $258.
From Z-Buy.com, who I have never ordered anything from before.
Wish me luck!
