Pentium3 500 vs celeron 900

[yinako]

Hi
I have a question I'm looking for a used laptop and across a descision, which cpu is faster and by how much, Pentium 3 500mhz or celeron 900mhz? both used in laptops. I believe the celeron is the 100mhz FSB version.

Hmm, well the celeron should be faster considering almost double clock speeds but,why are you getting such old hardware?
You can get a 2ghz mobile CPU(or one that behaves similar to a 1.5 ghz P4) at bargain(to say the least) prices.
