CELERY 1.6

[nick1985]

my friend has a celery 1.6 he wants to know if he can upgrade to a P4. he has an emachine. mainly i want to know the pins, whether it is 423 or 478. that way i can determine what he can put in it

AFAIK, there is no such thing as a desktop Celeron 1.6 GHz.

ie. Celeron 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.7, 1.8...

maybe hes talking about a laptop?

 

[nick1985]

well, my friend obviosuly does not know what hes talkin about then

It's too bad too. I'm sure Intel could make a Tualatin 1.6 GHz. If a 1.6 had existed I would have bought that instead of my 1.4, even if it cost 50% more.

Another 14 MHz FSB, and you are there!

Actually I've benched this Celeron 1.4 GHz machine at 1736 MHz (1.7 V). FSB 124 MHz, PCI at 31 MHz. It's not very stable but I did manage to get a Sandra and QIII bench out of it. With QIII, it was about 8% faster with my settings but they were set too high for CPU testing, at 1280x1024 and everything turned up to max. But that's how I'd play so that's what I tested.

104 fps --> 112 fps

My system then crashed and so I just gave up and put everything back to normal. I won't bother attempting 112 MHz. The 37.5 MHz PCI is a little too fast for my tastes.

1736 is up there. They top out ~ 1700 if you have a really good chip, lots of Vcore and very good cooling. 1600 is much easier. I had a golden 1.4 that went to a friend. That thing did 1.57 UNDERVOLTED to 1.35 Vcore! I bet it would do 1700+ on the right mobo.

I thought about undervolting this thing to 1.4 V @ stock speed. But then I just decided to leave it at 1.5 V. It's not as if I'm running at 1.7 V or anything, and the heatsink only gets just warm anyway, never hot (unless I turn off the CPU fan ).

I have this rare but strange computer won't turn on for 5 minutes after a shut down problem though. I dunno why. It must be something to do with my PSU I'm thinking.

Thats an odd one. Try opening the case and pointing a house fan in there to keep things extra cool and see if it still happens.
