These results prove again that a Pentium III should not be limited to 100 MHz FSB. The 800 MHz type is about 6% faster thanks to the faster bus clock.
Office Applications seem to benefit a bit more thanks to the 150 MHz bus speed. A Pentium III 675/150 is even faster than a Pentium III 750/100 in the Office Productivity part of the SYSmark. The same applies to Pentium III 733/133 and 800/100.
