Hello everyone, I just upgraded my dell demension 2400 cpu from a 2.4 celeron to a 3.06 pentium 4. Works fine. I enabled hyperthreading in bios. My queston is why does it say the clock speed is 1.60 instead of 3.06. I know my motherboard supports the chip. It works fine. I just don't know why the clock speed says 1.60. Shouldn't it say 3.06 or is it supposed to say 1.60. It's a northwood p4 533fsb/512/3.06. Thanks.

I just found out using my check it diagnostics program that it is a mobile penium 4. Would that be the reason why.
I guess i just answered my own question. Oh well I just wasted $40. I'm not going to spend any more money on this system. I only use it for web surfing. My daughter uses it for itunes and social networking. Still works better than the celron processor I had in it. Maybe I'll just leave it in. I just don't want to spend $600 or more on a new computer every five years.

If you wanted a PC that runs Great for the age of machine,...... I have come accross 3 P4 HT DELL Optiplex GX 620's and if you wanted to make it moderately gaming capable......Up grade power supply, GPU, and Max its ram to 4 Gb. I did this and was able to run Ghost Recon Phamtoms at a mild graphics setting.....reason for mid Graphics setting is simply that the Cpu is a but lacking in high performance Calculations/ Sec. but I was moderately pleased.
