Tualatin Celeron questions.

[Woodchuck2000]

I'm building myself a PC based on the Shuttle SV25 micropc and I've been looking for a socket 370 CPU to stick in it.
I'm running a Celeron 733 in another system - I'm not sure whether it's coppermine based or tualatin based or indeed, how much cache it has. (although I'm guessing coppermine...)

Basically, what are the differences likely to be between my old 733 and a new tualatin 1.2GHz?
Does one support SSE? What kind of performance difference can I expect? Is there any chance of getting the celery up to 133FSB in an SV25? (Cheeky, I know, but worth a shot.)

Many thanks etc...

Celeron 733 would have to be a coppermine with 128KB cache and run 66MHz FSB. 1.2 Tualatin would have 256KB cache and run 100MHz FSB. Running 1.2's at 1.6 is certainly not a sure thing (I bought one guaranteed to), but I don't know enough about SV25 to know about that in particular. Whether you would notice the difference, of course, depends on what you're doing, so you might want to describe the applications you're concerned about. I would certainly think you'd notice the difference gaming unless you had a really poor video card.

The Tually 1.2 will be noticably faster than the C733. Twice the cache, faster bus speed, data prefetch logic. If you want to get to 133 FSB, play it safe and get a 1.1A or even a 1.0A version.

Cheers for the answers guys...
It's going to be doing any combination of:
DivX Encoding,
DivX Playback,
Dedicated Game Server,
Small-time Web/FTP server,
Plus the odd bit of office use.

Paired with 512Mb of CAS2 PC133 ram.
I'm assuming that I'll notice quite a large difference in DivX Encoding?
I can't play games as the Shuttle SV25 has onboard video and no AGP...

I have a sv25 with a 1.0a running at 1.333ghz - and it plays games fine with a radeon 9000 pci.

Cool, I didn't realise that there was anything faster than a GF2 MX as far as PCI cards go...

You have to re-arranga some parts but it is possible.
