if you ask me, i would say it mainly b/c of 2 things!! Memory/FSB speed and L2 Cache!! remember Mhz ain't mean anything!!
i have 2 different system running seti, one is PIII 600 (coppermine core, 256k L2, 100MHz FSB), one is a PIII 450 (Katmai core, 512K L2, 100MHz FSB). guess which one crunch faster?! the Katmai 450 ave. 'bout 12hr flat, and the Coppermine 600 ave. 13-14hr/wu!

I have been pondering the same question cause my p4 1.6 w/256 k l2 is kickin my freinds p4 1.8 w/512 l2 by a half-hour per workunit.
But then again he's running ddr and i have rambus ^_^
Oh and um his computer was built by gateway
and my computer was built by me

yup. Memory speed, then FSB, then L2 Cache, is the most major speed issue on SETI. study the benchie database would also helps too.

In addition to the link, thank Landshark for his work on the benchmarks
He's the man that gets all the results and tests 'em out etc, nowadays
And the guy you will be sending YOUR benches to after you've run them
(thanks for all your work LS)

oh DDR, there's an "unoffical rank jump" feature for all the members too. $10 for 5 ranks jump, $15 for 10 ranks jump, and $50 for our number uno spot!! visa/mc/ae/dinners club/paypal accepted! oh btw, there's a $5 per entry for the benchie too!!
to repeat: FSB speed and L2 cache.
But there was different type of celeron sold with different amount of L2 (because of different process and die size)
I once attempted to upgrade a PII-350 (@400) to a Celly 450@650 and the Celly was twice as slow.
Now , if you could get the Celly to work at FSB 100Mhz, it would be equivalent to a 900Mhz Celly (much better)
