Notes

We ran our tests with the Celeron 566 at the default and overclocked speeds (566MHz and 901MHz). We also threw in a Coppermine P3-650 for comparison. We used the Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra because we didn't want to add the GeForce's T&L into the mix. Note that these are just overclocking tests, not an actual processor comparison. We are working on a few "same speed" comparison tests for a future Celeron vs. Coppermine article.
