Hello,
I want to change my CPU. I have Intel Celeron D 3.33 and i want to replace it with Intel Pentium 4 2.8. Should I do it? Will it run games better?
And one more question. Intel Celeron D uses 775 socket. Will any 775 socket run on my motherboard or not? :confused:


Please help.... I’m a newbie

Thank You
 
What motherboard do you have?

Best way to find out is to look up your board and
make sure of what it will accept.
 
WOW. Very quick answer.
I scanned my pc with PC WIZARD 2008 and here is my system summary

Found it.
It support P4.

* Support Intel® Pentium® Hyper - Threading technology with FMB Performance 2005 support.
* Support for an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in a LGA775 socket with a 800 MHz system bus, 2.8Ghz to 3.8 GHz or higher.
* Support for an Intel® Celeron® processor in a LGA775 socket with a 533 MHz system bus, 2.8 GHz or higher.
 
It would support it, but honestly its not worth it. If i were you i would wait and invest in a new mobo+cpu such as an e5200 and p35 mobo, since the celeron and pentium 4 are essentially the same processor minus a few features, and both use the netburst architecture which was very ineffecient per clock cycle, newer cpus such as the e5200 are based on the core 2 architecture which is much much faster per clock cycle.
