Hmm, yes I would image that the 100Mhz bus does give the Celery processor a
performance boost. But I think you would find that if you had compared the
two processors on the same Motherboard, the 333Meg PII would surely have
beaten it. I'm sure the 100Mhz bus goes a ways in compensating for the
lack of an L2 cache in the Celeron...
