A Faster Processor: Standard Applications
Our PC was about 40% faster when using standard applications under Windows 98 after exchanging the Pentium II 266 with a Celeron 466. The additional 64 MB memory increased performance by a further 12%.
Under Windows NT, the performance gain when using the Celeron 466 with 64 MB memory was about 35%, i.e. somewhat less than under Windows 98. If however, you buy the processor and a 64 MB memory module, then a gain of 60% is possible!
The diagram confirms that a fast processor can only reach optimum performance if it has sufficient system memory. The Celeron 466 delivers a 17% performance gain when memory is upgraded from 64 to 128 MB.
