OK. It's a 64 MB, and clocked at 250/230 (3.5 ns EtronTech). The 128 MB is clocked at 250/200 (4 ns, can't remember brand).Originally posted by: CurtCold
R8500 275/275 and 1600XP and it's smooth in 1024*768 default settings. I would say it's the crippled processor.
Is the 9100 128MB, or 64? You might overclock to 250/250 and help out some TWEAK!
Enormous change in Quake III and 3DMark2001. Can't say for UT2003, since I only bought that on Saturday.Originally posted by: oldfart
Did you see any change from the 7200 to the 9100?
I dunno what that means.The Tually Celeron also has data prefetch and the PIII Coppermine does not.

Certainly a 1.4 GHZ Celeron can perform just as well as a PIII 1.0 GHZ cpu. Dont you think?
Before anyone condemns this persons processor (1400 MHz is nothing to sneeze at) I would try to direct questions about what was tried as far as fixing this problem.
Eug, what have you tried, if anything, to solve your problem?

We're not talking about playing at 640X480 Medium settings. The 8500 Should be able to run 2K3 at 1024*768 with default settings. Yes a card that came clocked 275/250, or 275/275 would be better at this. I had a gf2 gts, and going from a 700 Celeron, (which i know is not tultarian) to the 1600 was night and day difference with the same video card.
Makes sure your settings are right in the bios, such as 4x agp, and 64MB Agp aparture size. Even with the Celery Stick you should be able to play 2k3 decently. You don't need a 3Ghz cpu to play 2k3.

Do you think a Radeon 9500 Pro will get me over 35 fps minimum?
My Celeron 1.4 has a 256 KB cache, and is about as fast as P4 1.8ish, at least with some apps.Originally posted by: AtomicDude512

No duh. The 128KB of cache not to mention the lower speeds are murder. Get a better CPU first, how about a dirt cheap Athlon XP 2100 for $87 (or so)?
Since when does a Celeron 1.4 have 128K of cache??Originally posted by: AtomicDude512

How about you run the individual botmatch benchmarks and let us now what your average and minimum framerate is. I guarantee that system of yours will get an utter pasting.Ok, If it's a crippled processor, why can I play UT2003 just fine on a PIII 1GHz box, with 384MB SDRAM and a GeForce2 Ti 64MB card, 13 GB HD.
