Denismage Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have a choice between staying with Celeron D 330 256kb that is 3.3 Ghz (Overclocked), 533mhz bus, 663 overclocked, or getting: Socket 478 P4 3.2 Ghz, 1mb, 800 Mhz bus or Socket 478 P4 2.8 Ghz, 1mb, 533 Mhz bus My mobo doesn't support 800 so it would underclock the 800 Mhz processor making it run 2.1 Ghz with 533 bus. I could overclock it back but I'm not sure my motherboard can overclock up to 800 mhz, highest I've taken it was 700 mhz with my celeron. Which one should I pick?

OldJoe Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Socket 478 P4 2.8 Ghz, 1mb, 533 Mhz bus. My knowledge about bus speed and overclocking is very limited, but that's the one i would choose.

Big_Stingman Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Socket 478 P4 3.2 Ghz, 1mb, 800 Mhz bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Socket 478 P4 3.2 Ghz, 1mb, 800 Mhz bus Might i ask why? Damn, i should really read more about bus speeds. Denis, are you getting a P4 for free or how much are you paying for it?

Denis, are you getting a P4 for free or how much are you paying for it? ~20$ for the CPU + Shipping that is about 15$ (CAD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufoman Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 If they all cost the same, I recommend getting the Socket 478 P4 3.2 GHz, 1mb, 800 MHz bus. Why? Apparently it runs at a much faster clock speed, that's a good thing. But the 533 MHz one might be more compatible with your Motherboard... I base this assumption on nothing. Either one is better than your Celeron, because they have more Cache.

Denismage Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Good news: I've hijacked dad's p4 3.2Ghz with 800 FSB and it works at full speed. Bad news: Because of it (I have no f- idea how it's related except for maybe fsb speed) my 512 MB RAM stick died, leaving me with only 1 GB. I guess I'll buy 3.2 Ghz and get a new RAM stick.
