The currently 'slowest' models are priced very attractively, which makes them much more interesting than most Pentium III models between 800 and 933 MHz. As you could read in previous articles (check the Keyword Index or CPU Guide ), the Athlon Thunderbird outperforms Intel's Pentium III due to its clock speed advantage. The AMD CPU is even able to beat Intel's Pentium 4. Please read Tom's Power Box article where he overclocked an Athlon-C to amazing 1.6 GHz!

As I wanted to show the difference between the various processor speeds, I used a fast graphics card, NVIDIA's GeForce 2 Ultra. It is one of the fastest 3D boards available, but still the bottleneck in some of the benchmarks.
You should be quite familiar with the rest of the test setup: IBM's DTLA drive, Asus A7V133 and 128 MB brand SDRAM by Wichmann Workx Germany.
