But that's in the future, and this is the present. Let's look to the present, shall we? Let's look at the fact that, in 3D games anyway, a 500MHz Pentium III overclocked to 560MHz outperforms a 300MHz Celeron overclocked to 464MHz by only 4.4 percent. Let's look at the fact that, assuming you can find a Celeron 300A and overclock it successfully, you've spent $60 plus the cost of a fan. Let's look at the fact that a 500MHz PIII is going for $747 on Pricewatch as we write this article. Break it down--the PIII costs nearly twelve and a half times as much as the 300A. ars-technica.com Pravin.
