However, the Pentium III's very nearly a discontinued product, which means that the rest of the system is probably quite dated even if the CPU isn't, and the fastest Pentium III is slower than the slowest modern CPUs*. * Except for the ultra-low-voltage variations of the Pentium M and Celeron M, which are used in some notebooks and Tablet PCs designed for extreme portability; and the extremely rare 1.4 GHz Pentium III-S, originally designed as a server chip and the fastest Pentium III ever made, can probably outrun the slowest Celerons.</blockquote>
