PS: Still not conviced that PPro is
"worthy" CPUs. I view it as
"bastard child" of PII, celeron is even worse.
Excuse me? Considering the PPro is significantly older than the PII, it
would be hard for it to be the child. Further...the PPro has faster cache
(clock == core, as opposed to clock == 1/2 core on PII) and on some versions
more cache than the PII (up to 1MB). Clock for clock, the PPro is a better
chip than the PII, it simply never got clocked up as high as the PII (for a
number of mostly economic reasons).
