RE:"Check out this review of a 1.2GHz Celeron and the slowest Pentium 4 and memory combination available: 1.5GHz with SDRAM.
xbitlabs.com
The Pentium 4 actually wins on more than a few tests. Unbelievable, isn't it? I'm guessing a 2.0GHz Pentium 4 will6 do even better."

Yes, the P4 did beat the Celeron(T)1.2 on a few benchmarks...a few of which were Sysmark...which means you can throw those out.
What made me wonder is that a Coppermine P-III 1.0 beat the tualatin Celeron 1.2 on a few 3DMark benches. I don't see how this could be possible since they both have 256k Cache.
The real winner is the P-III-S w/512 cache at 1.13 which in fact destroys any P4 at any speed. The p4 is really sucky chip, but as you know it sells to those who don't know better...Personally I would consider a 1.2 Ghz Celeron for my own use now...
