Quick: P4 or Celeron?

[BassKozz]

Quick Question:
Which is faster a 2.4Ghz P4 or a 2.8Ghz Celeron?

 

[rflcptr]

The Pentium 4.

Thanks rflcptr

 

[rflcptr]

Do you know if it's the 'C' revision? If so, you also have Hyperthreading as an advantage.

Thanks for your help rflcptr,
I am buying a used computer from a local college, and I have a choice between a:
Compaq Evo D51s
or
Compaq Presario SR1010NX

The Evo I believe is a 2.4Ghz P4 , while the Presario is a 2.7Ghz Celeron. So I assume the Evo would be the better machine to go for?

I plan on putting Ubuntu linux on it.
Thanks,

Pentium. I've been staying away from Celerons for most of my life.

 

[rflcptr]

I'd recommend at least 1GB RAM for everyday use, as well.

P4 for sure !!!

the S478 Celerons ( even Celeron D) - s***s

 

[BinarySynapse]

P4 for sure !!!

the S478 Celerons ( even Celeron D) - s***s

The Celeron D's were suprisingly good for what they were in their day. Of course the new Core based Celeron's stomp them into the mud.

P4, Celerons are good for Grandmothers only JK

The 400mhz bus Celerons suck absolute balls.

I typically avoid Semprons or Celerons like the plague. Get a P4.

 

[lostnkonfused]

The P4 has more cache than the celeron--get the P4.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, P4 it is
