We tested the Slot-1 Celeron 366 with the most CPU intensive benchmarks we possess, including several from the gaming environment. For comparative reasons, we also included results on the same tests from a Celeron 366 overclocked to 550MHz as well as the results from a bone-stock Intel P2-450 CPU.
In order to ensure that the gaming results were limited only by CPU performance and not by the fill-rate limit of a particular video accelerator, we tested with Quantum3D's powerful X-24 Voodoo2 SLI card. All games were tested at a resolution of 800x600x16bpp to further ensure that the video accelerator wasn't the limiting factor in the testing process.
Here's a more in-depth look at the test machines:
Test System:
ABIT BX6 v1.1 (Slot-1 - Intel 440BX)
128MB SDRAM
Goldstar 128MB PC-100 SDRAM
STB Velocity V4400 16MB AGP 2D/3D Accelerator
Quantum3D X-24 Voodoo2 SLI PCI 3D Accelerator
Adaptec 2490UW Ultra-Wide SCSI Controller
IBM Ultrastar 9 8.4GB UWSCSI HD
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 3D PCI Sound Card
Plextor SCSI 32X CD-ROM
Win95 OSR 2.1
800 x 600 3D benchmarks - 1024 x 768 3D benchmarks - Synthetic CPU benchmarks
Test Conditions and Specifications:
All tests were run a total of three times with the results averaged to determine final score.
VSync was OFF for all video tests, allowing maximum frame rate performance.
The Quantum3D X-24 Voodoo2 SLI card was set to operate at a 100MHz core/memory speed
and was utilized for all 3D benchmark results.
