I use Intel Pentium III processor on two computers.
Two are Slot 1 Pentium III 800E with 256K cache and 100MHZ FSB on dual processor server, they run Solaris very smooth.
The other one is Soclet 370 Pentium 733MHZ with 256K cache and 133MHZ FSB, it runs Solaris too.
Pentium III is a very good processor that can run today most if not all Office applications and to be used in offices and web surfing, or as small servers like print or file sharing. It can be used with UNIX/LINUX.

Always tended to use Intel in the past and had plans to build a Pentium 4 system for myself but on closer investigation into the price I was put off.
I found the Thunderbird to be a very reliable processor, it has been tested to the max since the day I finished my PC and I have not been let down yet.
I have a 1.3GHz setup with Gefore III graphics card and 512MB SDRAM and my machine now boots up far faster than I imagined it would.
Easy to install, plenty of places seem to sell and stock...

Err... Are you reviewing the Pentium 3 or the AMD Thunderbird? They are made by different people y'know!
<br>The P3 is a pretty good processer with HUGE support although the AMD Thunderbird and Athalon chip have surged ahead in popularity ad reputation. <p>Due to the lower price and increase in support and interest in AMD chips I am buying A 1.1 Athalon system cheap rather that a P4 cos it will still kick ass in the years to come (+ I can upgrade cheaper) without loosing the performance of a P4. So what ever you are on about I agree :-) (I'd buy an athlon next if you do have a pentium 3 the newest AMD chips are stunning!)
