3D Spotlight has updated their monthly High End PC Buyers Guide.

For the Intel based system I chose the Pentium III running at 933mhz on a 133mhz FSB. With a slightly better performance than an Athlon CPU running at the same MHz, this CPU is a good buy and will probably perform near to that 1GHz Athlon we are also recommending below.

If you are into overclocking, with good memory and a bit of luck you could take this processor running to a 140mhz FSB or higher, so, do the math and you will see that´s very close to the GHz.
If you remember last month choices, you will notice this month we are recommending the same CPUs for Intel and AMD rigs. But there is an important difference, the Pentium III 933 price has been dropped for almost $200, that´s a lot of money !

Even though it´s still not on par with AMD Athlon prices, they are getting much closer, making them a more viable option than they were before.
