Cpu

oo oops, yes it was, but now my question is, was my 1.5 better than both? that was 256KB L2 Cache, and was a Willemette...

yeahh, ok, i thought it would be, cause the 2.8 has 128KB, when the 1.5 has 256...

The extra 128K doesn't make up for the 1.3Ghz difference in clock speed. Even the X2 4200+ and 4400+ run at the same speed, but the 4400+ has double the cache, however the difference in most games/apps is barely noticable.

yea, generally clockspeed matters more, though cache does help.

why do you want to know its equivilent? you planning on an upgrade?

Math 101 :D ;) :D ;)

([-Omega-]'s quite right, though, the 2.8Ghz is far better).

the most i can upgrade 2 is 3.0GHZ lol, thats only plus 200MHZ, not even worth it, and plus a 3.0GHZ Socket 478 is hard 2 find....

and i was a little bit skeptical about this CPU because of the cache size, and that it's a Celeron, and i was gonna sell it 2 get a CPU of a better cache, and maybe a Nortwood or something..

I doubt it. I believe that CPU only has 256K L2 as well.

So no, I would say you Celeron 2.8Ghz is better then her Celeron D 2.5Ghz.

But you should not forget that the celeron D has 533Mhz FSB, while the celeron has 400Mhz FSB.

Between Celeron D 2.5Ghz and Celeron 2.8Ghz, I would go with celeron D 2.5Ghz because of the higher FSB and cach memory.
