| 79379 | 2002-09-14 02:28:00 | I have a computer with Elite p6bxt v1.3 mobo and 700 mhz pentium. I am considering replacing CPU with Celeron 1 ghz Tualatin. Have done some homework and there do not appear to be compatibility issues. I noticed a previous thread where Cpu power was mentioned. Eg a more powerfull CPU. Does this simply mean speed? There is also bus speed and L1 and L2 cache We use a heavy graphics program and under some operations the CPU usage goes up to 100% and stays there for up to 1 minute at a time. Memory does not seem to be a problem. Any comments would be appreciated. dumdugie |

| 79384 | 2002-09-14 05:34:00 | celeron has less cache and slower front side bus than a p3. for games/graphics the p3 will be faster. i did some testing ages ago with a 633 celeron vers 350 p2. they ran roughly equal dispite the p2 being almost half the clockspeed of the celeron. mhz isn't everything. |
