Re: multimonitor trading set up: Celeron vs. AMD K6-3

<<Isn't the Celeron processor a bit deficient as far as FPPU goes (FLoating
Point Processor Unit) relative to the Pentium II/III and AMD K6-3 series of
chips and chipsets ???



Celeron and the Pentium 2 and 3 all use the same FPU.

Listed are the Sandra99 FPU benchmark:
P2-350   465
C400      534
P3-450   565

Note that with their full speed L1 the C400 does better than the raw clock
speed for the P2/P3.

The K7 is the first AMD processor to have a good FPU - in fact some 40% to
50% better than Intel's best.
