Need Help

I need Help tell me if these are really true:

1) Is (Pentium III 1GHz or 1GHz Celerom System) is Equal in Performance with (Pentium 4 1.5GHz). Is these systems are equal in Using MS Office runnig Under Win Me.

2) Is (Pentium III 1GHz or 1GHz Celerom System) is Equal in Performance with (Pentium 4 1.4GHz). Is these systems are equal in Using multimedia Application running under Win Me or Win Xp.

Last thing i wana know is that how can we Benchmark a computer for a specific application or game like if i wana see that how well Adobe Photoshop is working on a system, How can i benchmark that.

Going to the beach with a hammer and blowtorch and making a chip will probally result in a faster pc than a celeron anything. You are *way* better going with a low end xp chip.

A good way to test photoshop is generate a 250m file and then load it and run some filters and large actions on things and time how long it takes to do the various operations. For games, most have a builtin fps counter you can use to watch exactly how the game is performing.
