With updated drivers we are seeing the Athlon outperform the Pentium III under UnrealTournament by a slight margin. The performance between the two platforms is very close however.
With the TNT2 Ultra, the Athlon just barely loses the lead it had over the Pentium III 750, 0.2 fps isn't worth arguing about.

The thing to remember during this era is that coppermine P3's (or at least, any P3 with integrated cache) were pretty much stupid expensive, and unobtanium to get. While with the Athlon 800 you could actually buy one and not be on a wait list for 2 months.Also ugh, RAMBUS and 820 were just way too much money. BX @ 133 with a video card that could handle it - which Geforce 2 era cards started to be built for that was where it was at if you were Intel. Or you just waited like everyone else for the Athlon Thunderbird to come out... =)
