I would like to know which Intel processor is better. By "better", I mean speed or just in general. Otherwise, if you had these two yourself, which one would you use? Included is a link to Intel's site with the specs. Thanks! Also, if you would happen to know on hand, the processor that is faster, I would like to put in a motherboard which I could upgrade to a Core 2 Duo/Quad chip one day. Like an LGA775 --945G or something:confused: Thanks again!:cool:

Intel® Celeron® Processor 2.60 GHz

Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 2.40 GHz

I'm gonna say the pentium 4 if it has hyperthreading. Though you'll have to get better cooling for it as it's known to heat up too much.
 
Just go with pentium. cause celerons are oooold but I really suggest a dual core if you can afford it. I don't know that much about the pentiums and celerons but I used to have a celeron CPU and I can tell you: It was sloooooow, I didn't even have to compare it with other procesesors to know that it just was.
 
Pentium 4 2.4GHz is better because it has more cache and higher FSB

Only Prescott that run above 3.0GHz produce a lot of heat.......

But the one he posted runs at 2.4GHz and it is Northwood which doesn't produce a lot of heat

No it doesn't support hyperthreading but it is still better than celeron

You mean the Pentium D? If he's going to get a dual-core he might as well spend a bit more and get the Core 2 Duo.

it COULD be a Pentium Dual Core Geoff...

look into the E21X0 line.
