Your celeron will outperform his pentium by far, but how much did he overclock his. I have a celeron myself and at your speeds your should be the better one.But what is yours and his fsb. Your friend is just bragging, I think the Celeron D is gunna outperform his pentium dont let him tell you its not because when you go to a lan and he is slow and you are fast you can rub it in his face.

My fsb is 533MHZ I dont know what his is or how much he over clocked it but he thinks that a pentium will run twiceas fast as a celeron thats why he thinks his 1.6ghz will out perform my 2.93!

your FSB is 133 but the FSB on his pentium is 100. Your friend is just talking big, your Prescott Celeron is far superiour to his Williamette P4

i think people shouldnt be able to talk about computers without passing some sort of test, your mate who thinks his pentium will out perform your celeron is dreaming, people like that give computing a bad name.
