Under Windows NT the platforms with greater bandwidth do noticeably better in the benchmarks which is why the Celeron 500 is at the bottom of the list.  In this case we're still dealing with business applications so even the Celeron is performing respectably.

In the high-end tests where FPU power and cache speed rule, the Athlon obviously takes the top two spots, but the FC-PGA on the i810E is on the heels of the BX platform running the same CPU.  For high end applications, as long as you're not doing a lot of 3D modeling, the FC-PGA may be a very affordable way to put together a low cost, high performing system under professional applications.
