I would use the Celeron. In most cases you won't find any benefit from a "true" pentium II compared to a Celeron. The pentium II has more cache but the Celeron has a faster cache. Disregarding benchmarks, most real world applications will be faster on the Celeron.

: Hi folks,
: I have the choice of two CPU's to use in my mame cabinet.
: one is a celeron 300A, and the other is a genuine Intel PII-233.
: I already have both proccesors so I want to use one of them. (can't use a faster one anyway, as the motherboard is only a LX chipset, and won't support above 300mhz).
: rather than trying to benchmark the two cpu's with mame (I don't even know how one would do that) Does anyone know wich CPU to use..
: Thanks folks.....
: best wishes Julian
