    CeleronD temperatures too high?

    that's way too high.... It's easy for the heatsink on the Celeron D can be badly positioned (one edge can sit on the side of of plastic). I had this problem, where the CPU was idling at 80degrees!!!! The normal idle should be around 35-45 degrees depending on the ambient temperature...

    Intel Vs Intel in Benchmarks

    If you think the Celeron D is so crappy, what you need to do is get him to OVERCLOCK the 2.4G Celeron D to 3.2G You would then have a real reference point to make comaparisons, since the CPU speed would be the same. Once that's been done, if you compare the Encoding and Shrinking DVDs, you...

    P4 2.4 or Celeron 2.6?

    Ok, here's the story so far. I haven't burned it in yet, so this is how it runs out of the box so far. Stock voltage, it boots and loads Windows at 4.0G. At this stage it fails Prime95. It also fails at 3.8G, but it runs ok at 3.6G. I'll run it longer in Prime95 and do a burn in when I...

    Celeron vs. Pentium

    Yes, that's what I meant. The 2.0G 0.18 micron Pentium 4, it has a 400MHz fsb, 256k of L2. The 2.4G Celeron D has 533MHz fsb, 256k of L2, plus the multimedia extensions. The Celeron D would blow that P4 out of the water, so saying "Just for the Record I would Never use a Celeron. I dont...

    P4 2.4 or Celeron 2.6?

    I've just got it running last night on a new mobo, so I need to load drivers and I'll give a report on how it runs under prime95 in the next day or two. Using the stock fan & voltage.

    Celeron vs. Pentium

    Ok, answer this: which processor would perform better, and 2.4G Celeron D or a 2.0G 0.18 micron Pentium 4??

    P4 2.4 or Celeron 2.6?

    I have a Celeron D 2.66G, in a 775 pin package. The 478pin Celeron D is either a C0 or D0 stepping. The 775 pin Package is an E0 stepping. This 2.66G has a 20x multiplier @ 133 (533 fsb), but this one runs at 200MHz (800 fsb), which means it runs at 4.0GHz.

    AMD Mobile or Intel Celeron D...

    The Celeron D is great for video encoding of MPEG2s.

    How to tell if it is a C or B?

    Intel use the "A" designation to differentiate between two CPUs that could seem to be the same, but are not. In that respect, Intel is consistent. e.g. Celeron 300 had no L2 cache, while the Celeron 300A did. The Celeron 566 was packaged in a PGA370 while the Celeron 566A was packaged in...

    this intel processor = ???amd

    That's NOT correct. There are two different sorts of Prescotts: 1. 1MB of L2 Cache, 800Mhz FSB, with HT. Starting at 2.8E upwards. 2. 1MB of L2 Cache, 533Mhz FSB, without HT. Starting at 2.4A. (comes only in 2.4A & 2.8A) From the Intel site: SL7E8 2.40A GHz 533 MHz 90 nm...

    Prime95

    It wasn't because of a high PCI bus frequency, which was the normal speed. It was because of the overclock of the CPU (Celeron D). FSB from 533MHz -> 800MHz. (2.4G -> 3.6G) It runs fine at 3.5G, but you don't get the 200MHz memory bus. I guess the errors are hardly surprising given it...

    Prime95

    I've' just gotten a Celeron D (320) 2.4G, and I'm running it at 3.6G, stock fan. It's a D0 stepping, not the C0 stepping I've put into a few people's PC's. A C0 I had would run at 3.4G, but it would not run Prime95 for even one iteration without an error.

    Prime95

    What's an acceptible error rate with Prime95? I've overclocked a processor, and I get an error after between 20 & 50 sets of iterations. (between 15 & 30 minutes I guess, long after the CPU has heated to its maximum under load temperature.)

    is this guy correct??

    Not true regarding heat........ The fact that is has only 25% of the L2 means that Celeron Ds are not hot chips. I've run a Celeron D 320 (2.4G) at 3.6G, 200MHz fsb, although not stable. It runs perfectly at 3.4G, stock fan and voltage, 41C idle 52C under load (Prime95) I would venture to...

    Another "Which is faster?" thread.

    You have to take that in context.... those comparisons are only for a couple of games. That 2.2G celeron would outperform a 1.7G P4, if you were doing MPEG2 encoding.
