AMD or Intel below 1GHz?

you had the PIII slot-1's vs the K7 slot-A, Then came the current technology, AMD Socket-A ( Athlon & Duron) vs Intel PIII/Celeron socket-370.
P4 has sockets 423 & 478, the new AMD Hammer technology will require a bigger sockets still.
They were pretty even benchmark wise. AMD had a price advange. May I ask why? Just curious or looking to buy an older rig?
p.s. (serious post count) doesn't include the 1650 posts I lost last year w/ the switch fro UBB to Jawbreaker.

All the way to 1GHZ, the P3 was slightly faster then the Athlon. In it's Slot A form, it was slowed down by External L2 Cache Modules ( running @ 333 mhz max ).
Once they shifted to the Thunderbird with On-Die L2 Cache, it still turned out a bit slower due to the 64 bit path between the L1 & L2 Cache ( the CuMine has a 256 bit path ).
On the other hand, the P3 never came close to whichever Ahlon when it comes down to FPU. The Athlon always was way ahead.

Slot-A Athlon?
*ntel had thing their way from 1997 to 1999, till the K7 came out. Some of the distinct differences;
The Athlon could execute a floating point multiply instruction 2X the rate of the PIII.
The "Thunderbird" Athlon has 128KB of L1 Cache and 256KB of L2 cache. The Intel "Coppermine" PIII had only 32KB of L1 cache and 256KB of L2 cache. Of course the major difference between the two is the Front Side Bus.
750MHz is still viable w/ enough speed to do everything you'll want to do. You'll even find a few old sites on how to take it apart & OC. The socket-A is a better platform, w/ a new board & a Duron™ under $100

I don't know about the athlons and pentium 3. but i sure knows a Duron processor can outperform Celeron easily!

Athlon classic
There where two versions of the classic or is it now vintage Athlon (K-7). The first where slot a in .25 micron proccess and the second came a short time later was the .18 micron proccess. Both the same packaging except for one letter difference in the product code printed on the package. The only real advantage was the .18 ones could be overclocked better, and they where slightly faster (actually marginally). If you are wanting one, eBay would be a fine place to start. However, an early socket a Athlon would be far better.
I would definately stick with any Athlon

If yo8u are going JUST under 1G then the AMD is the way to go. Anything under 700 is Intel's domain, gaming and everything else. The main selling point for AMD is the bang for the buck.
