i have a new matx case and want to get some sort of matx dual processor mother board for it. two celeron 2.9's would be much faster than a p4 3.0
 
faster doesnt always mean better you know, and i didnt even know they made dual cpu motherboards for a celeron. what socket is it?
 
well i dont know if they make them either LOL. but just saying, i dont do real games on my computerbuta want the best graphics card u can get for undeer
lets say 50 bucks so i can play cheap games better and i downloaded this one movie and it dosent play on my 256mb celeron its all choppy then the program dosent respond. i used to have an averatec laptop woth 512mb ram and that same vidoe worked fin so im going with 1gb ram and a new processor

i dont think they make dual cpu motherboard that are microatx, only server motherboards have them i think.
 
dang, that would be sweet though right?
if ya get a decent 60 $ graphics card and play a good game like grand theft auto san andreas and you have a 150$ graphics what would be the differences in the game play and grahics and speed if any??
 
i doubt it, 2 celerons wouldn't be that good, a pentium D would be much better.

and a $150 gfx card would have a huge difference then a $60 one.

Read up on CPU's, and how crappy Celeron's are, also take a look at CPU101, CLOCK SPEEDS ARE NOT EVERYTHING, and having two cores, or two CPU's IS NOT TWICE AS FAST,OR EVEN CLOSE TO IT.

[No meanness intended, just getting my point across]
 
They don't make m-atx dual-cpu boards, having 2 Celeron 2.9s wouldn't be any better than my system in my sig, dual-cpu motherboards are meant for specific applications, e.g. seti@home. Gaming on a Dual-Celeron system would be useless, so would buying a $60 graphics card to play GTA : San Andreas.
 
most games can't even run paralell threaded, so it would only use one CPU. I had a friend with a computer idenctical to mine except his was a dual core. Same g-card, same ram, same chipset, same processor(s). When we benchmarked them, they ran identical in the graphics department. His only killed mine in the benchmarks that could use the parallell threading and in the memory bandwidth tests.
