Ten, regarding the benefits of moving to PC66 to PC100 The dependency of High End Winstone on memory bandwidth is interesting. Good catch! I should point out that the numbers you reported were for a Celeron, which has a very small cache structure (32K L1, 128K L2.) Any other CPU will show an even smaller performance increase with bus speed. In addition, the performance/MHz curve tails off as you move higher up, so that will diminish the effect further.

Tench, Yeah but pc-133 memeory will help my compiles go faster ;).. man those thing can be memory hogs. Steve

Can you link to where he said the Celeron 400 wasn't multiplier locked? Because I was under the impression that all C400's are! Using PC-100 RAM with a Celeron doesn't mean the system bus is running at 100 MHz. I'm using PC-100 RAM right now with a Celeron running the bus at 75 MHz. It seems everyone on this board doubts the importance of the bus speed. Put it this way, even if the Coppermine was as good as the K7 (it's not), the 200 MHz non-bus speed of the K7 would put it over the top in a lot of areas vs. the 133 MHz of the Coppermine, even if they were both using the same memory.
