Personally leaning to ward the PIII of the slower versions ie: 600e. Main reason is I have my dual 600e FCPGA @ 918 on a VP6 at default voltage. My other dual board with slot1 600e's is running as fast as the motherboard will go at 800 also at default voltage. Great overclockability, cheap processor. So I have two running at 318mhz over spec and two running at 200 mhz over spec.
The AMD Tbird 1ghz that I have tops out stable at 1050, a whopping 50mhz faster than spec.
Since the PIII 600e are starting at 102 on pricewatch and will run in dual configuration, I like them better than the Tbirds.
My 2 cents.

umm only 1050 for a 1gHZ t-bird umm you must be doing something wrong because ive seen 1g t-brids top out around 1.5. Are your l1 bridges covered?? According to the overclockers.com database the average overclocked speed for a K7 1gHZ is 1.22 try upping the voltage to 1.85 or something because T-birds and Durons are known for the ability to be overclocked higher too.
I don't like intel CPUs because they lock the mulitpliers on them my T-bird 1.33 is already unclocked and ready for overclocking. AMD is much more friendly to overclockers than intel is.

Yeah,current AMD cpu's seem to be able to get at least 200MHz more than what they're rated. Even with the FSB you could easily get over 1.1 GHz no sweat. You're probably doing something wrong.
You ought to to put in an extra choice for us SMP geeks who use 2 CPUs and will never go back to singles...
Didnt think about SMP at all. I did think about the P2, but that is "old" as far as cpu's go, but not ancient. I dont think I have the means to go about changing the poll, since im not an admin, like philipp and shs.
I was one of the 2 to vote Athlon Classic
I was first of the two actually
