Advantages: Stable, Fast and a Steady Workhorse

Disadvantages: Not as fast as AMD

So what ya wanna be, you wanna be hackers, code crackers...sorry, the remnants of Wierd Al Yankovic's song exists in my head.
Back to the subject, the Pentium III kaiama is not as good as the coppermine or AMD's Athlon, but it is still very good. I have a Pentium III 500Mhz running on a SLOT 1 and the stability of the processor and temperature is far better than AMD's Athlon. Even running this processor at 560Mhz, its runs at a cool 30 degrees celcius and i have never had the computer crash because of the processor. Many people I know would swap thier AMD for a Pentium 3 as the stability of the Athlon is poor and with the temperature given out off the Athlon, a radiator near thier computer is no longer needed!
AMD are cheaper but with that extra bit of money look what your paying for, a stable and fast work horse of a processor built by Intel! If it came to Intel vs AMD, intel would be my choice.
