Celeron D vs P4

Hey all,

A question about CPUs. I've been looking at the Celeron D as a cheap, very
overclockable CPU. Anyone know where I could find a direct comparison of a
Celeron D (2.4 Ghz Prescott overclocked to near 3.0 Ghz) vs a cheap P4 (2.4
Ghz Prescot overclocked to near 3.0 Ghz). I've looked on tomshardware and
the regular sites but I can't find any reviews that show Celeron D
processors.

The Celeron is about half the price. That's why I'm asking. I'm thinking it
would be better to take that extra $65 or so and put it into the video card.

Thanks, great article on the Celeron D. Exactly what I was looking for. I
didn't realize the Celeron D would overclock that high. They got them into
the 3.5 to 3.8 Ghz range.

That might have to be my next processor.
