Celeron goes to 2.4 soon

[DivideBYZero]

Not that these are great chips by any measure, but still: Celly

Maybe now it can compete with a Tualeron 1.2GHz 😀

Yeah I bet that Celeron 2.4 would get absolutely trounced by something like an XP1700.

"Can't polish a turd"

hahaha... fantastic!

What this means is that despite the high final speed, the Celeron will still lick balls. People may remember that a certain tech site had one of these elaborate keychains up to 3Ghz, at which point it was having trouble seeing off a puny 1600+ XP.

Expect to see these dogs in about 1 month from now, when they will be 'released'. The 'Eye suggests you avoid them like they were WMD.

LMAO😀

LOL! I know, a Celery 2Ghz we have at works seems as slow as one of the P3 733MHz sometimes. But maybe it's because it uses Windows XP comared to Window s98.

Instock already at newegg. For $145, the Athlon XP 1700 for $49 looks so much better.

$145 for a 2.4 Celeron?? A 2.4B P4 is only $15 more.

These things are worse than anyone could have hoped 🙂

I agree wholeheartily. I've had the 300a Celeron oc'ed to 450MHz, a 566MHz Coppermine Celeron oc'ed to 876Mhz and my current rig which is a 1.4GHz Tualatin Celeron oc'ed to 1.68GHz and I have been more than happy with their performance. But these Pentium 4-based Sellouterons are absolute garbage and America should target Intel next for daring to put out such a cruddy 'CPU'!:|

'War against Intel', hmmm. 😉
