Actually, the Celerons of the P2/P3 generation - like the 667mhz one -
were
pretty good. There is no AMD K2 that I'm aware of - I assume that means
K6-2
(although there were, I think, some AMD Athlon [K7] 500mhz chips as well.)
The K6-2 was a pretty good chip but really more of a Pentium-MMX
generation
chip than a P2/P3 generation chip. My bet would be on the Celeron.
Now, if by some chance that is a K7/Athlon 500mhz, that probably is at
least
as fast as the Celeron.
