i am asking this question cuz me and my friend are trying to settle a debate. also, i am curious. :]

i've heard that pentiumIIIs were pretty good, and celerons aren't.

which is faster in general:
Pentium III-M 1.13GHZ
OR
Celeron-M 1.5GHZ

i know, the clockspeeds are faster in the celeron-M, but i've heard that celerons suck. which one is faster in general?

ASRock P4VM8 Mainboard
Intel Celeron D 320 2.4GHZ CPU
Chaintech G-Force MX4000 Video Card
Windows XP Home SP2
1GB RAM

Celeron M.
-Based on newer architecture.
-4x more cache (256KB on P3, 1MB on Celly-M)
-much faster fsb, RAM, etc
-assuming both use integrated GFX, the Celly-M will have much faster video performance.

EDIT: I just remembered that a P3 1.13 is a Tualatin core, so it would have 512KB of cache instead of 256.

Still, the Celeron has twice that number.
