Celeron 1GHz or P III 933MHz

the PIII will be faster, the 66mhz difference doesn't touch the memory speed difference, not even taking the extra L2 on the PIII into account.
What kind of RAM do you have?
Unless you're running PC133, that will need to be upgraded as well.

Celeron above 900 MHz have 100 MHz front bus.

get an amd duron because they are cheeper and perform better.

800 and up are on the 100mhz fsb.
that brings up another point, regardless of which processor is used, the RAM will need to be upgrade unless PC100/133 is already used.

The PIII 933 is much faster than the Celeron 1GHz. In fact it's about the same speed as the Celeron 1.2GHz Tualatin, which has 256k cache.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

why? a 933 p3 can run most software just fine, games included. As long as you have a fast enough video card and enough ram a system of that level could be viable for at least another year.

heh a 667 is probably fine if you aren't into gaming. Unless you're upgrading for games, there isn't much of a point in doing it unless it's substantial. Just look at my system specs
