That clouds it even more! The Via chipset can run async - you can run the FSB at 100 and the ram at 133. If you possess both processors, why not try each one and run full benchmarks and see what you get? I'd be interested in the results. I don't think there will be a stability difference between either one with the ram at 133. I'm almost thinking that the Tualatin may win simply due to the considerably higher processor speed and core efficiency. That core was a real sleeper - it makes early P4's look sick. I think the only reason they even called it a Celeron was the 100 FSB.
