All
Pentium II or lower Pentium users will clearly have immediate benefits in
terms of performance if they switch to a Pentium III 600EB or best to a
Pentium III 800EB which is very powerful. As our tests demonstrated: a
Pentium III 800EB is approximately 1.8 times more faster than a PII450.
The gain in performance reaches 43%! So it’s really time to change your
chip! However due to the high price of the Pentium III 800EB the best
value buy is the Pentium III 600EB. Pentium III users will gain little
performance by changing Pentium III 600EB to 800EB, only 23% in the best
cases.
But
Pentium III first generation users should consider changing their chip for
the latest “Coppermine” ones that come with a 133Mhz FSB and 256Kb of
full speed cache. However to close this review we think that the i820
chipset is slightly disappointing since it isn’t really optimized for
the latest Pentium III chips. Finally hard-core gamers will experience
ultimate performance with the latest Pentium III 800EB CPU from Intel, so
really why wait? Let’s go ahead and buy it!
