Im not sure where to put this thread sorry if its the wronge spot. Which processor is better Intel Celeron 2.00 GHz, or and Intel Pentium 3 processor. I dont really know a lot about them. I would like to know which is better and why. I have a scrap pc that has like a plug in Intel pentium 3 processor and i was just wondering if it would be better then the Intel Celeron i have in my pc now.
 
I think the pentium 3 processor is old its huge! Plus it doesnt say what it is just pentium 3 N 9X15V G. I think i seen it said something somewhere like 4 hundred and something MHZ idk.. haha it still has a price tag on it for $299.95. and the celeron im not sure either it just says Intel celeron 2.00 GHz 400 MHz. U dont think it will work in my pc anyways i cant find a plug for it.
 
The four hundred on both of those processors is referring to the Front Speed Bus of the processor - totally different thing. I believe if that Celeron is a 2GHz then it would have to be based off of the Pentium 4 chip. If memory serves, the P3 only went up to about 1.5 or a little higher, I don't remember it making it to 2GHz, but I might be wrong. In any case it's more that likely that the Celeron is going to be rated at a higher speed (GHz) than the P3. However, the Celerons are a lower grade version of Intel's chips, the reason why a Celeron and a Pentium would be rated the same, but perform differently. To make a long story short, the Pentium will be a higher grade, but probably older, the Celeron will probably be faster, and newer, so if it looks compatible, I'd take the Celeron.
 
Celerons aint very powerfull but you would get a bit more speed out of the chip than you would with the p3, I think that you should be a little better off going with the celeron:)
 
Thanks for the info. I figured the celeron was faster but i wasnt sure. The pentium 3 looked old. I just figured that if it was faster i might have a free upgrade for the pc i use now but the speed of mine is fine really. I just mainly use it for internet and music, no games or anything like that. I would like to have some more ram though. just have 256 MB of ram

1. Prolly the Celeron for most cases
2. Whats the clock on the Pentium3
3. Whats the core for the Celeron
4. Whats the intent for the machine?

And is that a regular Celeron or Celeron D?

Well
Intel Celeron 2.00 GHz

A Pentium 4 processor w/ 2ghz is way faster than a Celron processor with 2ghz.

1. They are both 2GHz
2. Pentium4 has nothing to do with the two processors in question

Rather, the BUS speed

1.4 :)

There is no 2GHz Pentium3.
