Some Input Please: P4 2.4Ghz Celeron Vs. XP2000 Tbred-A ???

[byum]

Thinking of replacing my Athlon system with a Intel P4 Celeron.

P4 Celeron 2.4Ghz VS. AMD Athon XP2000 Tbred-A


Need some suggestions guys.... Is it worth it to dump my AMD for that P4 2.4Ghz Celeron?

No!!!! And never compare a celeron to anything. It is a neutered p4 chip that probably performs more like a 1.7to 1.8ghz willamette p4 so therefore your 2000+xp tbred is a far better chip IMO.....Eeven if the 2.4ghz could oc to 3ghz+ like the 2.0ghhz celeron did it still wopuldn't be much better then a 2.2ghz p4 northwood and you are still right there with that tbred

athlon 2000 though it is not a tbred-b it should oc. i will not say how wel but it should.

2000+

2000 for the love of God! Celeron is a swear word in these forums!

Hehe..sounds like going with a 2.4Ghz celeron would be a Downgrade from an Athlon XP2000 Tbred-A eh?

Anyone else?

Yes it would,maybe if you can Overclock to 3360.95 Mhz you might have a chance at beating it.

For christ sakes the 2000! What are ya tryin ta do.......give us a heart attackk!

I have seen first hand what dogs the celerons are in performance. Can someone explain why... I have read that the only difference in the Northwood p4/celerons is the l2 cache reduced from 512kb to 128kb. It is just suprising that this single change makes that much difference.

 

[Duvie]

I believe the L1 cache is as well 1/2 or 1/4 as much..... Ppl may correct me but I believe they are running 400fsb as well...

Yeah it is at 400mhz. But I had a 2.0ghz celeron, that was running at 3.1ghz stable(fsb660mhz). And when I got my 2.4 p4 533, all benchies except sandra cpu/arith shot up by 20-30% before I even oced the p4. The Celeron wasn't even a contender with the huge clock, fsb, advantage.
