I'm helping my cousin build a computer, and I need to recommend which CPU to get (not overclocking). I am on newegg.com and I can't decide. I'm going to install it on a slot 1 soyo 6ba+iv bx motherboard (with slocket) so I narrowed it down to these CPU's. The Celeron 850Mhz for $51, Celeron 1.1GHz for $93. Pentium III 750MHz for $112, Pentium III 850MHz for $128, or Powerleap Celeron 1.2GHz Tualatin upgrade kit for $169. Just in case the Powerleap is a bit too steep for him, how do the celerons compare to the p3's. Thanks.

Cool, I heard it was... but let's say the $169 is too much for him.. How does the 1.1GHz celeron compare to a P3-850 or 750?
