2.4 Celeron question
- Thread starter beef
- Start date
It is signifigantly slower in some apps due to the 128K L2 cache rather than the 512K in the P4, along with the lower FSB to drop available bandwidth.
It will be decent, however most AMD Durons, I'm willing to bet Socket 370 Celeron's would be faster in most apps. More L2, totally different design, based more on computation power than bandwidth.

I'd say it's fine for photoshop use, and faster than a P3, but that 128K cache does hurt it, even though they have a 400 Mhz FSB (P3s have 256 K - 512K cache I believe, and a 100/133 Mhz FSB).

You could probably overclock it to a 133 FSB with no problem
Second system in sig.
With the 2.66 in that board and ram I got about 200.
This should help:

Quake3 Demo, all details maxed @ 1024x768.
Soon I'll order a P4P800VM and the overclocking will commense.

I bought a P4P800VM today to pair with this celeron. I am impressed.
270FPS in quake3 demo, fastest.
Granted I get 400FPS with my P4. But this machine was built for encoding and total out of pocket expense was $150.
Right now it is clocked at 3.16GHz with the PC2100 ram running at 176MHz. The ram by itself is impressive. Overnight I'm running two copies of prime95 to test the cpu and ram.
This is all on stock cooling. The only special thing I did was raise ram voltage to 2.65.

ive got a 2.4C celeron pretty good little chip for the money. it OCs to 3.06ghz on air but wont go much higher even with water. keep in mind this is about as fast as say a 2ghz p4. so OCed its stable and fast enough for me for the price. they arent the dogs everyone makes them out to be at least they are worth the money. the small L2 cache is a problem though some things the chip just sucks at but for most things its pretty good. i can still play games and as i said the price is right.
