| 251894 | 2004-07-12 23:24:00 | My thoughts: For Loh's office - They wont be noticing the difference between a 2ghz celeron and if they'd been given 1.6Ghz durons. End of the day, both are more than enough to do the work they appear to do, so who cares which is purchased?! You can play DivX on any 500Mhz upwards PC so no complaints there. Now, if they were going to be encoding DivX, making high-end multimedia presentations, and doing things that require major CPU Usage, then you'd worry about minor performance... ....But worrying about the millisecond difference it takes Office 2003 to load up?! Why bother? Do they really notice? Do they really care? Do the larger part of them even know what a Celeron is?!!!! |

| 251896 | 2004-07-12 23:33:00 | Upgrade your graphics card first, a 2.0Ghz Celeron is _not_ the bottleneck in your PC, rather the fx5200 would be. Get something a little more up-scale and you should see better results :-) |

| 251897 | 2004-07-12 23:36:00 | well i already upgraded my graphices people have 2.8ghz P4 and have that graphices card so, i think its the cpu before it had 32mb | Hiren (3722) | ||
| 251898 | 2004-07-12 23:42:00 | That last message doesnt make sense to me sorry... What graphics card do you have? |

| 251899 | 2004-07-12 23:47:00 | right now i have 128 g force fx5200 and before i hade this 32mb i was saying that people have this graphices card with more higher cpu than mine and it works fine so i think it is my cpu its the only thing i havent upgraded and people say celeron are not good for overclocking...so im saying what do u think of 2.4ghz pentuim 4 | Hiren (3722) | ||
| 251900 | 2004-07-13 00:03:00 | Understandably it will work fine because its not the bottleneck. Ive run a 128MB GeForce 4 Ti 4400 on a 1.46Ghz AMD Athlon XP 1700+ w/512MB Ram and it'd out-perform your PC any day, mainly due to the fact the graphics card is so much better! So what IM now saying is this: Yes, that card will work fine on a faster PC but thats not the point The point is the bottleneck is your graphics card - not your CPU! |

| 251901 | 2004-07-13 00:32:00 | The p4 will be a worthy upgrade, But chill is right on the money, Your graphics card is what will be hampering game performance, and forget your thoughts on the amount of ram on the card, its irrelevant as its the chipset that defines the performance, You bought the cheapest video card and the performance will reflect that. Heck, even my 64mb g4ti4200 would leave your fx5200 crying and bloody. I suggest you run 3dmark and then do a compare, you won't be happy. |

| 251902 | 2004-07-13 00:54:00 | Why did you buy Celeron if you knew you were going to play games on it anyway? Yes, a P4 2.4 upgrade would be good. But it does seem a bit of a waste of money. Go get a graphic card first. Being the neutral-branded graphic card buyer (i.e. no fan of nVadia or ATi), I find the Ati Radeon 9600XT to be quite good value for money and perfomance. The 9800 series seems to be dropping rapidly in price, so that might be worth a look too. |

| 251903 | 2004-07-13 01:26:00 | ok, i see mayb i should get a new graphices card instead, my uncle gave me this pc and i didnt no much about celeron and how it was a budget cpu. | Hiren (3722) | ||
