CPUs > Socket 478 CPUs

Advantages: Cheap, Good Performace
Disadvantages: Not HT, L2 Cache could be bigger, Easy to install if you know how.

I've had this processor for nearly two years now, and following a cost benefit anaylsis, I still don't see the point in upgrading. It's a perfectly capable processor, and teamed with 1GB of memory, it performs well. Theres not a lot to say about this processor, and what will be said will be extreamly boring. I can see why processors don't have a lot of reviews, they're not exactly easy or fun to write about, but I'll give it my best shot. ----------General ...
...style interface meaning it is only comaptable with socket 478 motherboards(Though i believe you can buy an adapter for 478 chips to make the work with socket LLG775 motherboards - the newer but not newest design). The processor is 32-bit, has 512kb of L2 Cache and a FSB equivalent to 533mhz. This makes the processor relatively quick and very capable for everyday tasks and even gaming (when paired with a good graphics card). It is available in the ... Read review

Advantages: Price, value, performance, ease of setup
Disadvantages: Extreme performance outruled, long term viability...

As one of the more standard - mid-high end processors available today, the 3ghz chip is useful for most average and moderately demanding programs and games. When coupled with the correct memory, and graphics card you cant really go wrong, however for users who demand the most out of their system it doesnt really fit the bill. For a start, its an excellent product if you're on a budget, weighing in at less then £120 nowadays its a real bargain. BUT, ...
...fanatics who loves to squeeze every last bit of juice out of their system, its not ideally a system you'll want to be purchasing soon, considering 4GHZ+ chips are now available. Works like a dream for me, easy to install, easy to follow the instructions, and help from intels website like ive never seen. The games I tested using it: DOOM3, FarCry, and 3dMark cpu tester. All came out relatively well, but thats considering i have a 9600XT graphics ... Read review

Advantages: FAST, Retail box comes with fan, sticker, manual
Disadvantages: More expensive than Celerons, AMDs, etc

...well as one of those Intel Pentium 4 ‘Intel Inside’ stickers. If you were to buy an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version of the CPU, then you would not get the box, the documents, the heatsink and fan or the sticker. The warranty would also be a lot shorter. My retail boxed CPU has a 3 year limited warranty, which isn’t bad. Installation of the CPU was the same as any other CPU. First, lift the leaver to unlock the socket so the CPU’s pins ...
...the price as being an Intel Pentium, the price is higher than other CPU’s such as AMD’s, but if you do opt for the cheaper AMD, then you would need a whole different board so you have to plan ahead. Buying a board made for Pentiums/Celerons and then deciding on an AMD won’t help. Is it worth it? Well, that depends on what you use your computer for. I can’t recommend a high-end computer capable of running the latest 3D games, 3D rending applications, ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaer than other processor of the same speed and can be over clocked to a slightly faster speed
Disadvantages: Cheap (depending on whether you find cheap an advantage or disadvantage), cnat cope with what its counter parts can!

...can really say about an intel celeron, except do not buy one. Thy are cheap garbage - i mean ok if you cant afford great hardware for your pc then thi maybe an option, or if you only use your pc for word processing, etc, aside from that its not very good for anything. My intel celeron 333MHz with MMX has caused me nothing but trouble. One fact of them is that many dont run at the speed they are stated. In tests they have the ability to but mine ...
...clocked if you have the know how but i am seriously agaisnt it. When comparing mine to my friends Pentium 2 350 (i think it was 350 maybe 300) his was able to run a great deal more programs without his even crashing once. My processor is now under such strain from my programs it crashes every time more than four are running (aside from the compulsory ones in the task manager screen). I would seriously advise against a perchase of a celeron - for ... Read review

Advantages: Stable Temperature.
Disadvantages: -

...XP SP2. I like this AMD processor because have dual core system and more faster than Intel Pentium Core Duo 2.2Ghz. I use ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 mainboard, DDR2 1Ghz, onboard VGA sharing up to 512MB. Then I try run The Sims game and wow.... I don't believe it, run stable and quick load when play. I can play NBA Live 2007 game too without using PCI-E VGA card. This AMD processor very quiet and the temperature is always stable. I try it all using original ... Read review
