Intel Celeron D...

[Cyber]

Hi guys

I just wanted to ask how good Intel Celeron d...is

If I upgrade my Pentium 4 2.66 processor to a Intel Celeron D 3.06.... how good would it be... I have heard that Celeron are not so good processors, is that true? Would changing my processor give me any performance boost…?

Thanks…

I think it's becuse they have a slower front system bus (fsb) the a pent

So that's why p's are better.


Not to sure and going of the top of my head.

i get what ur saying... but the P4 2.66 i have right now has 533 buss and the Celeron D 30.6... i'm planning to get has 533 bus as well... so i just want to know will Celeron D 3.06 will out perform my P4 2.66 or will it perform the same or worse that my P4 2.66....

thanks..

It's kind of like comparing a Chevette to a Caddilac. The Celerons are basic economy .Good for email, moderate Office and mid-low level games, et.In fact you probably would not notice any significant gain between th 2 processors you mentioned.
Step up as high on the P4 list as you can afford. better yet for my money go after a Single or Dual Core they are showing promise. Maybe just wait a little while to work out some bugs.They are priced close to the p4's anyway, and the processing capabilities look really good.
