I see Celeron bashing occuring here, and as a proud Celeron owner I feel obligated to defend my chip. It seems some people just don't realize that the Celerons with cache are nearly as fast as the Pent II's and Pent III's (minus the Pent III's new instructions, who knows how much they'll really do). In fact, overclocked Celeron's (running at 100MHz bus speeds) are faster than Pent II's at the same MHz. The reason? Celeron's cache, as many probably know, runs at full chip speed, while the Pent II's doesn't (it's at half speed). The K6 is behind both in real-world benchmarks. If you don't believe me, go here. Now, who knows what the K7 will really do, but if it's a BMW, I'd guess a Pent III is a Mercedes and a Celeron is a Lexus. The K6 is an Oldsmobile and Cyrix isn't worth drawing an analogy for.
Ps-As for quality, The only "errata" I've experianced is that my chip seems to be running one more MHz than it's supposed to. I can live with that.
Kryotech gave Tom's hardware an overclocked K6 to evalulate. Tom wasn't so impressed, and overclocked a Celeron. He also has diagram of how the Kryotech system works.
