Suppose that i use a Voodoo 2 add-on card for GPL and a Asus TNT 2 for D3d
games.

From ZD-Net.
Performance is another point of differentiation. While new Celerons will be
similar in look and feel to some Pentium IIIs, they will not be similar in
performance.
Clock speed-to-clock speed comparisons show the Pentium III 600MHz with a
100MHz bus to be up to 30 percent faster than a 600MHz Celeron on certain
benchmarks, sources said. Even an older Pentium III classic chip running at
600MHz with a 100MHz bus showed even 17 percent faster performance, sources
said. The classic Pentium III is a .25 micron chip with 512KB of off chip
cache.

I'm suprised nobody mention the AMD Athlon.
Okey the subject was Celeron (x)or PIII, but ...
An Athlon 500 ( $250 ) is 1.5 times faster than a PIII 500 !
For the motherboard take an Asus K7M ( $200 )
Put on this a TNT2 Ultra ( $150 ) .
GPL 1.2 , OpenGl Beta 2, Force Feedback device. and you get
constant 36fps ( 30fps at monza start from last position ).
you get 32bit ( yes you can force 32bit in OpenGL settings ), you get
trilinear filtering.
you get 1024x768 !

I don't know that much about PIIIs, but when comparing PII to Celery, they
perform almost identical, it just is a factor of clock rate. I have a
for CPU performance for clock rate, they come up extremely close. I imagine
if I could get them both running at the exact same speed almost nobody could
tell the difference...

However, for the work I do here, which involves high complexity
algorithms, our PIII's blow our lone Celeron (which we bought simply to
test) right away - two identical (in other aspect) machines both running
at 550MHz, the PIII is about 35-50% fast than the Celeron in a lot of our
applications.
Of course, in most sims, graphics performance is the biggest bottleneck
anyway, so this discussion is probably pointless ;)

No ! Wake up !
At equal frequency the AMD is a lot faster than the PIII.
Tested on 3DSMax 2.5 ( Shiva ) !
Let my find thos graphs ....
well i can't post graphs so here is the test
rendering MAX2RAYS.MAX the hardest scene for CPU/FPU !
all the test are with 64mo RAM SDRAM 100 under WIN98
in seconds
Athlon 500 04:44
Celeron 500 06:32
PIII 500 06:43
AMD K6 450 12:55
Pent. 233 18:30
A friend of mine have made these tests, and he as no stock option of AMD Co.
! :o)
the initial celerons had a zero k cache.

I am a big supporter of the AMD Athlon processor, (I also have one, and have
had a PIII), but the Athlon is not 1.5 times faster at GPL. However, the
Athlon is faster at GPL than a PIII. GPL is all about floating point
calculations, and the floating point unit on the Athlon is faster than a
PIII.
I really don't get into benchmarking programs, because they can be made to
make a Cyrix chip look as fast as a PIII.
