The Xeon is basically a P3 with a bigger cache. So, it will be quicker
than both flavours of Celeron 1.2 (the Coppermine cored one and the
Tualitin cored one). The Tualitin is quicker than the Coppermine Celeron,
but I recon the Xeon would edge it out over the Celerons.

Depends on the core and FSB speed of the P3 600. The P3 600 came in 4
different types, listed in ascending speed:
P3-600 Katmai core, 100MHz FSB, 512kB 300MHz cache
P3-600B Katmai core, 133MHz FSB, 512kB 300MHz cache
P3-600E Coppermine core, 100MHz FSB, 256kB 600MHz cache
P3-600EB Coppermine core, 133MHz FSB, 256kB 600MHz cache
The Celeron 800 is also Coppermine core, 100MHz FSB, 128kB 800MHz
cache. It fits in, I'd say, between the P3-600 and P3-600B.
