How does an 800Mhz celeron compare to lower speed Pentium II etc ?

Hi

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but didnt know where else to
try...

Just wanted to find out where an 800Mhz Celeron would be placed in a
hirearchical chart compared to early Pentiums, Pentium II etc etc.

I'm not entirely clear what distinguished the Celerons from Pentiums (no on
chip cache?).

But once the speed of the celerons rocketed, I got confused as to which
would be a faster processor in everyday use - how do they rank when compared
to a lower speed Pentium II, III?

Thanks for any info

Ian
