Which is faster GeForce3 Pure or GeForceTi200?

I know this doesn't make sense but looking at the benchmark results, it seems that the GeForce3 out performs the Ti200 model? I thought overclocking meant faster. How is this possible? Also, looking at the card specific results, Ti200 ranks right below Ti500 (ugh! see previous post). I would expect the GeForce3 to be right here. Can someone explain?

Gf3 pure is faster than a ti200. The ti200 can be thought of as the gf3mx, but I believe that the ti200 will overclock as far as the gf3 pure could(or higher) so its a better value.

From what I've seen at Madonion, the GeForce3Ti200 is a better overclocker than the original GeForce3. So, while the original GeForce3 is faster than the Ti200 at default speeds, the Ti200 is more likely to overclock higher and therefore run faster.

I got my gf3 pure to almost ti500 speeds.(faster memory slower core). I like geforces!

From what I read the gf3Ti200 can be clock to compete w the gf3, while the gf3 can compete with gf3Ti500. At least that's what I read here at Tom's when I was thinking about getting a gf, where I would get a gf3 and overclock it.
I guess it depends where you read it, on what day you read it huh AMD_Man;)
