Question

[zhenlilu2003]

What is the difference between a celeron and a P4? If they have same clock speed?

 

[ceewi1]

Mainly the amount of L2 cache, but the bus speed is often different as well. Clock speed is not the only thing that determines the performance of a processor (just look at the AMD vs Intel).

Here's a short article on the differences between the two: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question268.htm

Simply put the P4 is much better

my 3.06 ghz celery o/ced to around 3.6 ghz, then it screwed up my operating system. damn re-install time...

The P4 is much better, Celerons were made as a lower line for people who didnt need the performance of the P4. L2 Cache makes the P4 much better along with other things. The Celeron was created at the same time as the P2. It was made to compete for the low-end market. So just go with the P4

an overclock with a fix agp/pci lock cant corrupt as os installation the my knowledge

well the celeron D is prescott core based i.e. P4

what else could have done it? all i was doing was goin into bios, o/cing, booting windows, checking with cpu-z how far i went, and restarting into bios. also running speedfan for temps. even when i went back to default fsb, windows still hates me and will not boot.
