| 322414 | 2005-02-07 07:19:00 | Hi,I am looking to buy a budget CPU for a PC I am building,I can buy a 478 pin Intel Celeron 2.6mhz in either 400 or 533 FSB speed with the different cache speeds,will I notice much difference when using the different cpu's. thanks, John. |

| 322415 | 2005-02-07 07:46:00 | The 533 might go a bit faster than the 400, if the mobo supports 533 fsb. BUT I wouldnt say it'll be a lot, unless u get a P4, as celerons dont have much cache. |

| 322416 | 2005-02-07 07:59:00 | cheers speedy, its a bit weird,there seem to be more 400mhz than 533mhz for sale as if they are more popular and the price is the same,the motherboard is able to use either according to the manual. John. |

| 322417 | 2005-02-07 08:20:00 | yeah some cpus are quite rare these days, just like a 2.66ghz p4 400mhz FSB, there arent many around these days | Prescott (11) | ||
| 322418 | 2005-02-07 09:16:00 | There is no competition a Celeron D (533) will stomp the guts out of a northwood celeron (400) at the same clock speed. The only reason that so many northwood celerons are still being sold is that every budget board supports them while a lot of older model mobos still need flashing to run a celeron d A celeron d is a budget chip, a northwood celeron is a budget chip in every sense of the word. |

| 322419 | 2005-02-07 09:24:00 | thanks Highlander, I will try to get a 533 FSB CPU if it will give my PC its best chance in the world, John. |

| 322420 | 2005-02-08 03:27:00 | but a pure northwood p4 400mhz would kick ass | Prescott (11) | ||
