OLD CPU'S

If you use encoding/rendering apps. that have SSE support, then you'll get some improvement.

In other apps, the improvement is not noticable.

P3 450 MHz = PII-400 + extra 50 MHz + SSE

Celeron 400 is nearly as fast as the PII 400, because even with it's slower bus speed and 1/4 the cache, the cache runs at full die speed instead of 1/2 die speed.

In fact a Celeron 300A at 450MHz (via overclocking) is faster than a PIII 450.

And not to forget, with the full speed cache, a simple increase in bus speed to par with the PIII 450 put the Celeron as the performance LEADER at 1/10 the cost!

This was oc history! This was the first time I found out about it, and a lot of todays enthusiasts were prolly bred on the thing...

A long long time ago, but I can still remember, how that music used to make me smile... <A HREF="http://www.nexus.hu/zonix/DIGGER.MID" target="_new"><b><font color=blue>Digger rulz</font color=blue></b></A>
