Intel Pentium III 1GHz

UnrealTournament also favors the Pentium III 1GHz, even on the more affordable VIA setup, to the 1GHz Athlon. The performance difference here obviously isn't tremendous, but do remember that the UnrealTournament engine has a few limitations that are kicking in here that unintentionally make sure the performance difference between two processors is kept to a minimum, or two video cards for that matter.

We get a similar situation at 1024 x 768 x 32, with the RDRAM test setup still on top and the 133A platform just slightly behind it. For the money, investing in a 133A board and PC133 SDRAM makes more sense than an i820 board and RDRAM.
