Just a quicky.

I was wondering if intels celeron D is the "next generation" in the celeron family, Why does a celeron D 2.5ghtz with 512mb of ram and a mx4000 get less FPS in lets say Halo than a normal celeron at 2.2 ghz with 256mb of ram and only onboard video?

it doesn't

and the D = prescot core celeron

depends on what the onboard video is to be honest... there are some intgrated prodcuts on the market now that offer much better performance than a mx4000.
However, more generally speacking i would say there might be an issue with the 2.5 ghz system

Hmm, how odd. Let me specify. Both systems have a fresh install of windows, and the games. The onboard video is intel 82845g (roughly 5 years old) Could it possibly be a motherboard problem? Could the celeron D be overheating?

Theoretically the Celeron D should perform better, but there could be a few quirks with it.

For instance, our family comp with a Celeron D 2.4, 512MB ram, and 9600XT video card cant even play halo on lowest settings above 30fps. I bet it's a motherboard problem, since thats the probelm with our family comp.

Now the question is: What part of the mobo, could simply flashing the bios work, or perhaps its more seriuos such as a cruddy north/south bridge?
