lokoike Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Would upgrading from a Celeron 1.8Ghz CPU to a P4 1.7Ghz have any noticeable improvement on speed at all? I doubt it. I think the only difference between a Celeron and a Pentium processor is the amount of cache; a P4 has more than a Celeron, which is why it is more expensive. But since you would be taking a 100 Mhz hit in clock speed, I bet you wouldn't come out too much faster, if faster at all. Are you thinking of buying this P4 as an upgrade? If so, I would recommend shelling out a few extra bucks and going with at least something in the 2.5 Ghz range. By the way, rock on with the Rammstein! Reise, Reise is fantastic! Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEEnoble Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Im limited on what I can upgrade to as my Celeron is Socket 478 with 400FSB and I understand that only low end P4's have thoughs specs. On another note, I've found a Celeron 2.4Ghz, I wonder if that would be worth it. By the way, rock on with the Rammstein! Reise, Reise is fantastic! Yer, Rammstein rock!

LEEnoble Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Grrrrr... me no like Intel...me like AMD =) I have an AMD 2400+ equivelent, and it's very good, plays most games, does most apps pretty quickly. It's not top-of-the-line (The newest AMD dual core literally has two of them), but it provides plenty of basic functionality. If you are thinking about upgrading in the future, consider getting a 939 socket motherboard. That is not what this topic is about.
