Would a AMD athlon xp 3000+ (2.1GHz) 512K L2 Cache 400MHz Frontside bus outperform a Intel Celeron D (2.93GHz) 256kb L2 Cache 533 FrontSide bus? if everything else is equivalent (harddrive rpm, ram, video card, etc.)

how does frontside bus and cache affect a computer's performance? i'm a noob with all the details the fbs and cache and everything else...

From the specs of the 2 comps above? is the Athlon or Celeron better for like doom3 and such data needy applications...??? :(
 
the celerons are total crap, and can only be compared to semprons in the athlon line... go athlon XP in that price range.
 
isn't an 3000+ xp equilient to around a 2.8ghz or 3.0ghz pentium 4?? now put a celeron in and the athlon is like God
 
come on guys, Celeron's are not that bad
a 2.8GHZ Celeron is all you need for Doom 3 or HL2
an Athlon XP 3000+ will perform better than a Celeron 2.93GHZ, but that does not justify calling the Celeron a "crap" CPU

it's just not right when people see a processor with 5% better performance than another, and call the slightly lower processor "crap"
