Celeron Benchmarks from:
http://zetabyte.com/giki'sgoldenglish/compskvideo/an3d.htm
Hot 569 K6-2 300 running 75x5, or 375mhz, 64meg sdram, PCI64 audio, 8 meg Voodoo2, and all
games were minimum install if possible, with quality set for maximum.

Game..................Celeron 300 V550 TNT...........Celeron 450 V550 TNT...........569/K6-2 300/V2
Resolution.............640x480....800x600..............640x480....800x600.............640x480...800x600
Quake II TD 1..............51.1.....50............................76.1....60.1........................81.2....58.8
Quake II TD 2..............49.7.....46.4.........................73.4....59...........................77.7....58.3
Unreal........................37.8.....34.6.........................48.2....48...........................34.2....32.8
Incoming (D3D)................41.86..................................53.04..................................51.90.....
Viper Racing....................53.4....................................51.1...................................58.3.......

I think Unreal scores would have benefited a lot if I had done a full install.

To get these Socket 7 (not Super 7) scores, you don't need an ATX case, PC 100 memory, or
an AGP slot. And as an added bonus, you get full Glide compatibility!!! At least with AMD
and 3dfx around, there will still be life left for Socket 7 configurations.
