I expect the 233Mhz K6 Classic to blow the socks off of the 266Mhz Celeron.

A correction. All benchmarks has indicated that the cacheless PII-266 would perform up to the level of 256K PMMX-200 (not 512K) in Winstone97 business benchmark. K6-166Mhz with 512K is faster than PMMX-200 256K cache. Thus, a more accurate statement is "K6-166 with 512K is faster than PII-SX-266"!

Of course, PII-SX-266 will be much slower than K6-166 when users put both of them to work side by side. Due to the aged architecture design of PII and the lacking of both L2 and L3 cache from Alpha technology, PII-SX-266 system will stalled whenever a cache hit succeeds or misses on every job you put on it.
