Great upgrade if your prepared to mod it for your system...
The last of the Pentium 3 line, and by far the fastest, it even manages to outperform the bottom end Pentium 4 line.
The only problem is that intel changed the pin outs just enough to to break compatibility with then current coppermine motherboards.
But fear not there is a mod, that requires you to remove just 3 pins and bridge two across, just google "pentium 3 Tualatin mod" and follow the rabbit down the hole, there are tuns of online references that you can use to do this mod.
And the end result speaks for itself, my system (733mhz Coppermine,256megs ram and geforce 256) went from 1360 3dmarks(using 3dmark2001) to well over 2300, that is a huge difference and it basically eliminated any bottle-neck the original CPU had over the GPU.
So what are you waiting for...
