Which is better?

Second chances...

For a simple 'which is better', then I would pick the Celeron (enough of a higher clock speed to outweigh any Pentium benefit).

However, I would imagine they are two different Socket types, yes? Those Pentiums were circa-233 Mhz and the Celeron is clearly a 566. Back in the day, that much of a difference was pretty rare. It looks like the Celeron is much newer, and thus most likely (for the era) a different Socket type.

I posted a picture of an AMD also, but I guess the picture isnt there anymore. Is a higher MHz better than a higher ?.?V core? Im asking because I have a AMD-K6-233MHz- 3.2V Core/3.3V I/O(the one that the pic failed on) and the celeron only has a 1.5V core.

The voltage has nothing to do with performance, it just means how much power it's using.

It's easier for us if you just tell us the specs on the processor(s) you're debating between, then for us to need to look at each processor(s) picture to determine the specs.

The Celeron is a 566 Mhz with a 66 Mhz FSB. MMX is +/-233 Mhz with a 66 Mhz FSB also, IIRC. Ditto on the Voltage.

I guess the Celeron will win the ancient battle.
