Gary,

Quake has been optimized (i.e. carefully modified) for FPU of Intel processors. Winstone98 has been carefully designed to insure that PII would achieve good benchmarks. As a matter of fact, Winstone98 has been optimized for PII so successfully that even the cacheless Celeron achieves wonderful benchmarks too.

In reality, you could only find a few applications/games that optimize for Intel processors. It also means that PII is an inferior processor if put it to deal with real world jobs.
