I have an older system made from parts sitting around and what not and im wondering what would be faster:
Intel P3 1000 EB (Coppermine/1000/133/256k)
+ Intel 815E chipset (ATA66, AGP2x, 512mb ram total)
or
Intel Celeron 1.1A @ 1.46 (Tualatin/1466/133/256)
+ VIA 82C694T Chipset (ATA100, AGP4X, 768mb ram total)
The Tualatin celeron has equal cache (plus the optimisations) as the P3 - would it be quicker with the higher FSB? Iv managed to overclock it simply by flicking the jumper from FSB100 to FSB133 with no vcore and its 100% stable (got no vcore options!!! - iv heard the Tualatin's are hard to overclock???).
So what would be faster? Would the extra ram (the board doesnt like the 3 sticks at once) and faster modes for IDE and AGP help? Or would the trusty old P3 1000 and Decent Intel board be better???
