Deschutes performance

  Take a Deschutes Pentium II 450 MHZ CPU on a generic 100MHZ FSB BX Motherboard, what percentage faster is it than the 400 MHZ version on the same Motherboard? A rough percentage is all I ask, I need to know if the 450 is worth the extra $$.  Also, I assume the 450 version has the motherboard clock multiplyer set to x4.5?

Thanks engeltje,
                 Thats a good answer, yeah I suspected the 450 was only slightly faster but needed another opinion. I'm looking at the ASUS P2b at the moment with, yes, 64 MB of PC100 RAM. This machine will be specifically used for calculating as it go's thru arrays of data using what amount to for/next loops in an AI application using little disk access and no real-time graphics, I wonder if you could frame the P II 450 vs 400 debate in terms of that kind of usage. Not exactly a 'normal app'.  Thanks.
