chriskober Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 PIII 1.0 GHz vs. Celeron 1.0 GHz Whats the difference in your eyes?? My MB will only support up to a 1.0 GHz processor. What should I go with? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 celerons only have 128 kb of L2 cache while pIII's have 256 kb so there you go and im not sure if the 1.0 ghz celerons run at a 66 MHz fsb but i know earlier models do, while pIII"s tend to run at 133 and 100 mhz fsb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Zollo Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Get the PIII if you can, the Celeron is the lower end cost effective processor and as chriskober said, it only supports 66Mhz Bus speeds. I've never used a celeron before so I couldn't vouch for their stability/speed/reliability..etc. I have used a PIII and was quite satisfied with it, I was able to crank up the bus speed to 150Mhz, also got some nice PC150 SDRAM that made it run even better. I also believe the Celeron uses the 0.18 micron process while the PIII uses the 0.13. I'd go with the PIII.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruciz Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I have a celeron 366, and my friend has a PII 350, I have 256 ram and he has 92 ram, his system still outperforms mine. might be the boards, but he has the same speed harddrives. get the Original, will be definatly worth the extra $$$ you spend.

Roger H. Veteran Posted February 14, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2002 no it doesn't.. the newer celerons @ 800mhz and above are all 100Mhz FSB! The ones before that were 66mhz but everything after that was 100mhz but the PIIIs are 133mhz so that adds a major system boost as well. oh.. and it's not the boards.. it's cuz of the FSB and cache. His FSB is 100mhz and yours is 66mhz. IT makes a big difference. Trust me. The L2 cache also makes a big difference. I have a 366 Celeron laptop too and it's slower than the 233 PII that i had before. They had the same amount of ram but in this case it's cuz of the L2 cache on the chip that's why it's slower.

phyrexia Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 If you can get a p3 i`ve tryed celly and you "can" notice the diference in unraring , playing games , decoding dvd and such kind of aplications that uses above 40% of cpu and a lot of ram.

Steven Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Celerons are for people who like to eat vegtables. Pentiums are those who enjoy decent speed Athalons for those who enjoy Raw speed. and Pentium 4's are for those who like to spend an extra 100.00 to run as fast as the athalons... get the picture :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikimotel Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 go with a celeron 800, then let it run at 133FSB, it's cheaper and faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 The Celeron 1.2G has 256K L2 cache. I'm not sure about the 1G though but if it does, go for the Celeron, it'll be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xahid Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Technically there is much difference b/w Celeron & P3. Like , Celeron have very less instruction compare to P3, (detail at Intel.com, i don't remember). and pins (legs of the processor), which are "base" for instruction and speed !!!

Xahid Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 And if u r planning to upgrade , Do not look at Celeron neither at duron. Just buy the P3 or Athlon !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the new P4 Northwood cores (2ghz and 2.2ghz) use 0.13 micron technology Get a PIII without a doubt, Celerons suk a$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike11212 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I just built a Celeron 1.2 GHZ system for a customer It has 92MB of ram and she runs pretty stable and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the 1G though but if it does, go for the Celeron, it'll be cheaper. Celerons above 1 GHz have power requirements that surpass the capability of many motherboards. They are based on the Tualatin core (as are the latest Pentium IIIs) and suck up more power than can be provided (similar to the first PIII Katmai processors). Besides, he said he could only do 1 GHz, so I guess this is his problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
