Intel Celeron G1850

[phillyman36]

Is anyone using a Intel Celeron g1850? I took apart my main rig to sell it and im using the g1850 with a Asus z87 deluxe, Samsung 830 ssd and 16 gb of ram on windows 10 64. Omg this thing is slow. Scrolling up and down web pages slow(grabbing the scroll bar and trying to go up or down fast) Does anyone else have this problem? Is that the nature of the beast or could it be the combo of windows 10 and cpu? Would running windows 7 instead be better? I just need it until i can get my hands on a i7 6700k

Just thought about it I'm using the Intel graphics. If I put my GTX 760 would that help?

Sorry everyone move along nothing to see here. (I feel like an idiot) Put the graphics card in and it faster. Didnt realize it until i tried to play the online version of C&C Tiberium Alliance

It should not be that slow even with integrated graphics. My guess is that you did not install Intel HD Graphics drivers.

The driver was installed (I guess thru the updates) When i downloaded the driver from the Asus website it told me the driver i had installed was newer than what i was about to install.

Just scrolling in a web browser window should be fairly snappy on virtually any system these days. Unless you have a lot of other stuff running in the background.

I recently set up a Celeron G1840 system for somebody (using the integrated GPU), and it seemed fluid enough in general purpose usage.

That CPU is as strong as a Core 2 Duo E8300 with far better GPU.

This E5200 and a ssd are fluid when browsing,your G1850 should be quite a bit better.

Doesn't honestly feel much slower then my i3 3220 tower with a ssd for general purpose usage,its just newer games that end up showing how bad off the E5200 is lol.

OP is partially correct. Had a G1850 (still do, no one wants to buy HA!) and chucked it for an i3 4170. There is no fluidity, frames drop heavily on 720p60 and Windows just feels sluggish. Scrolling was smooth, only choppy when pages were still loading. If anyone thinks of buying the absolute bottom end, don't. The i3 is the minimum equivalent you should be looking at for modern desktops and laptops you use daily.

Yes there is a difference and yes it is noticeable. And this was with a 1TB 840 EVO SSD and 8GB RAM on a clean install with a brand new H81 mobo with little installed. Just run away. Its $50 for a reason. Snapdragon 810 would be faster. :awe:

And if you think that its as good as an E8400 look at TechSpot's recent gen comparison. Core 2 is at the very bottom. Its 2015 not 2005. Even for a basic box just no.

Considering I can drag the scroll bar on my BT tablet, and it scrolls fast, then I'm not sure what is wrong with your system. Drivers, perhaps?

I still had problems with slow down even after i installed the video card. I thought it maybe kaspersky. There was a new update(Windows 10) this morning. Did the update and so far not slow at all. Smooth sailing thus far.
