I am an AMD convert. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12762-celeron-vs-pentium/page/2/#findComment-163636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 22y 2m 2d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 10/09/04 03:42 AM Share Posted 10/09/04 03:42 AM Aren't guys running over 4GHz now with the Uber Extreme P4's?Im an AMD fanboy, no idea really why. Maybe the cheapness vs power ratio, who knows.I have a Barton Cored (333FSB) Athlon 2500+ (1826Mhz) and Im really happy with it. I can run it out to 2090Mhz (equiv of 2900+) on my old board with the stock heatsink. There are guys well over the 2200Mhz mark with this chip. AMD overclock fairly well too.A downside of the P4 from what I have read is the heat they generate and the power they use. The P4 mobo's need a second plug to cope with their 70+Watt loads!High end AMDs are also pretty expensive. It's in the sub 2.7 rand that AMD are cheaper. I think.....

Guest casgeroth Guests Posted 10/09/04 04:00 AM Share Posted 10/09/04 04:00 AM I'm very satisfied with my Athlon XP2400+. My only real bottleneck is my graphics card.GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB.It will still play most of the latest games (haven't tried the Doom3 stress test yet), but I REALLY wanna get an ATI X800 XT There's a good $900+ to sink into my PC Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12762-celeron-vs-pentium/page/2/#findComment-163673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex13bt Member 38 Member For: 21y 4m 14d Posted 12/09/04 12:25 PM Share Posted 12/09/04 12:25 PM (edited) I have a P4 2.4. I recently got hold of a Celeron 2.4 chip and put it in my system to see how it performed. Using benchmarking software (Sandra) I found it was only about 15-20% slower than the P4. I then overclocked it to 2.8G and there was very little difference in speed between the two chips. I’m not partial to AMD as I have fried one in the past.
